70 Times People Saw Something Interesting On The Road And Just Had To Take A Pic (New Pics)
The open road can be mundane and uneventful for the most part. But occasionally, you may catch something so interesting that you’d be compelled to take a snapshot.
These people did, and they’re sharing these random, attention-grabbing sightings online. Many of the images you’ll see are of peculiar-looking vehicles, chuckle-worthy signs, and motorcycle passengers that may make you question if what you’re seeing is, indeed, real.
Enjoy scrolling through these photos, and have a few good laughs while you’re at it.

Somebody Drew A Mona Lisa With Dust Accumulated On The Truck Box
At least you can get close to this piece of art, unlike the actual Mona Lisa.
I'd be thrilled to see this on a funky stuck on the freeway. (Albeit distracting, in the BEST way!).
Hang On Woody
I absolutely LOVE this!!!! I am most definitely going to steal this idea!!!
It’s one thing to spot something odd as a passenger and take a photo of it. However, drivers must not take their attention off the road in front of them. Unfortunately, distracted driving is a continuous problem that impacts thousands of lives each year.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) classifies three types of distracted driving: visual (taking your eyes off the road), manual (taking your hands off the steering wheel), and cognitive (letting your mind wander while driving).
Huge Respect To This Guy Working At A Construction Site At Highway 7 And 400 Who Helped A Huge Flock Of Geese Cross The Busy Street
We know to take the cobra chickens seriously here in the Greater Toronto Area. We're all safer that way - even guys in hard hats.
Now the Cobra Chickens owe him, and that is more valuable than gold.
Actually,my experience has taught me that if they're in a flock, they leave you alone. When they're on their own, then they become jerks.
My Parents Snapped This Picture Driving Through Canada
I once saw some giant tattooed biker who looked straight out of a hells angel movie riding his Harley with his French bulldog in the side car. Dog had a super cool galaxy painted purplish helmet with stars on it, I parked near him and asked about the helmet and he told me "he had a black helmet, but he refused to wear it." It was amazing.
A biker who doesn't like their skin! If you ride a bike, and care about your skin, please, please cover up.
At least he has some type of helmet. Where I live, helmets are optional.
Load More Replies...This Truck Carrying Nothing But A Toy Dumptruck
I once read a comment by a trucker who said he does it to make kids smile.
This may refer to a superstition that it's bad luck to drive with an empty load. Hence the tiny dump truck.
The OP explained that it was lesft behind when their roommates moved out and it was their toddler son's riding toy, so they delevered it to him. :) Such a cool thing to do.
Load More Replies...I've seen a few truckers do this when they have an empty trailer. They will strap down toy trucks to give people a smile on the roadway. I think it's super sweet!
it's actually showing that they drive without load, which should/could be prevented.
In an ideal world, there would always be a load. But sometimes empty equipment must be shuffled around to meet needs. It's called deadheading. Running a tractor with no trailer is called bobtailing.
Load More Replies...My zero-turn lawnmower arrived on a flatbed that size, and it looked so small and lonely on that truck.
The CDC also provided statistics on distracted driving, including nine deaths from vehicular accidents daily. 3,100 people died in 2019, and that number rose to 3,308 in 2022, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
I Think This Guy Wins Halloween. Cruising Down The Road At 50 Miles An Hour
He's going to regret going 50 MPH when he has to stop with his feet.
Funny thing, they don't actually drive with their feet. They just use their feet to get the cars started. Of course, there are other instances where some vehicles do use their feet.

Passed This On The Highway This Morning
Dog On A Motorcycle In NYC
I will never be as cool as that dog and I don't even care because look at his doggie goggles!
Not the safest way to transport your dog but looking at what this guy is wearing or rather not wearing (no gloves or decent shoes) he doesn’t seem to concerned with safety.
The dog seems to be harnessed to him, and they’re just on a regular street, not a highway or anything.
Load More Replies...As a motorcyclist and a dog lover, I think people like this are abusive idiots.
Doggles are a good thing if your dog likes to stick his head out of the car window, too.
More statistics by the CDC reveal that younger drivers are more at risk for distracted driving. Age ranges are between 15 and 20 in fatal crashes, as stats reveal that nine percent of these kids were distracted at the time of the accident.
Their object of distraction? You guessed it, their mobile phones. A 2019 survey showed that 39% of high school students who drove in the past 30 days either texted or sent emails while behind the wheel at least once.
This Trucks Shadow Says "Hi"
The world would be a better place if there were more trucks that said "HI"
Deers Actually Crossing At A Deer Crossing Sign
Just stupid to place the crossing here, I mean they should place at some less populated area! (/jk)
Load More Replies...Anyone else hear that radio caller who went viral because she was complaining about where her district had located the deer crossings? She was livid and very sincerely believed the should move the signs so deer would cross in safer places.
“Why do they put those signs there? Deer can't read” “No but they do recognize pictures of themselves” Bill Engvall
We see this all too often. Usually at dusk or dawn. They're very hard to see at those times and they can spring out from bushes and land right in front of you. I've hit two of them that way, killing the deer and demolishing my cars. The only predators of them are humans and a few coyotes. Now the deer are carrying diseases to each other and to the coyotes and people. Deer were reintroduced to my area after being gone nearly a century, but it's a horrible existence for many. I'm glad I don't drive much anymore. It's dreadful to hit the poor things at any speed.
The ones around here sometimes cross at the crosswalk. They are often like these deer: not in any particular hurry.
The Truck In Front Of Us Lined Up Perfectly With The Mountains!
Montanya is a rum distillery in Colorado, US. "apres" means "after" such as "apres ski"
That license plate is a colorado plate. The mountain silhouette above the letters and numbers gives it away. Source: i live here. I see that plate everywhere, every day.
Load More Replies...I'll upvote bc i know the difference between aigu and grave. But that's super pedantic.
Load More Replies...The US government has implemented measures to help curb incidents caused by distracted driving. The NHTSA launched a campaign called “Put Away or Pay,” which includes a video that shows the dangers of using one’s phone while driving.
So the next time you see something peculiar on the road, have a passenger take a photo. Or, at the very least, make sure you’re not on the move.

This Person Is Driving In The Rain While Holding An Umbrella
MGA. Roof is similar to that on my car. First you get the tent poles out, and erect them. Then you fasten the back of the roof to the car, stretch it over the poles, and fasten it to the front. Then you fasten the sidescreens to the door. All whilst stood outside the car in the pouring rain. Now you understand why they use an umbrella. Also, over about 40mph you don't get wet unless it is really heavy rain.
No roof. Looks like a vintage car. Maybe the top isn’t working. Or—-there was a time in the seventies when cars were sold as convertibles—-but the roof was a hardtop that folded or could be taken off in sections. Thing was, those sections didn’t fit in the tiny trunks those cars had, so would have to be left in the garage. Sucked big time if it was sunny and cloudless when you left, but started raining like f**k before you got back, because your car’s roof was sitting back home in your garage. Yeah, not a well thought out “feature”. Automakers finally figured out how to make a retractable hardtop work, however, so no more getting unexpectedly drenched. Really should’ve done that part first. Another example of automakers jumping the gun on putting wild/interesting/“fun” features on their vehicles before thoroughly thinking them through. Like today, with touchscreens on the dashboard replacing buttons and kn-obs, and increasing the number of distracted drivers who aren’t texting, but only trying to adjust the A/C or heat—-which used to be done without taking your eyes off the road, by simply memorizing the shape and location of the buttons, etc on your dashboard.
Let me guess - an MG with a convertible top powered by Lucas Electrics?
The wind velocity might prove awkward if he overtakes the bus that would be splashing from its back tyre onto the car too.. oh well..I guess no fold-down/up roof on this sports car
I think you mean this person is winning in the rain thank you very much
A British driver per chance ?..... poor soul probably started off in nice weather, then the inevitable happens.

Angel, The load is likely bulky but light, which explains why the rear springs are not bottomed out with bed resting on tire. As for how they stacked it - somebody was up top. The writing on the wall suggests 'somewhere in the middle east'. (I can't read it, just observing the characters). You see this frequently in youtube videos of how this or that gets manufactured over there. I have seen slightly lesser versions of this in the Philippines.

The guy noticed my son looking as we walked into Walmart & he was nice enough to let him look at the car close up. My son wanted to dress like him.

I drove next to a truck filled with bee hives on the highway to Enumclaw one summer morning.

I guess farmers rent hives for pollinating their fields, so beekeepers load the bees up on trucks.
I worked for a beekeeper many years ago. One spring we sent five 18-wheeler loads of bees to North Dakota to make honey on the alfalfa, clover, and sunflowers. That fall they got shipped back home.
