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.

RELATED:

    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).

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Actually they place the deer crossings where deer cross, so it's not surprising to see deer crossing at a deer crossing

    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.

    I recently spotted a boxer (the dog breed!) sitting at the wheel of a parked car outside a store looking like he drove himself there! Don’t worry the front window was cracked open slightly and it was in the evening so temperatures were low. (I want to attach the photo I took but the attach button is not working anymore..)

    I drove next to a truck filled with bee hives on the highway to Enumclaw one summer morning. A photo would not have shown the awesomeness of being 10 feet away from a buzzing truck with hovering worker bees. I guess farmers rent hives for pollinating their fields, so beekeepers load the bees up on trucks.
