Between a written test and multiple road tests, you'd think (at least hope to believe) that not just anyone is handed a driver's license. After about five minutes on the road, however, you learn very quickly that is not the case.
I might only have my learner's, but after looking through these photos, I don’t plan on getting my full license any time soon.
Foiled By A Croissant
What was behind the story of this red vehicle getting all scratched up? Well, he explains that he “tried to pick up a croissant from the car floor and hit a concrete pole.”
“What kind of croissant was it?” you ask? It was a Nutella-stuffed croissant dusted with powdered sugar. Some accidents in life are worth it.
Wood You Look At That
Was Home Depot having a sale on 2x10 wood planks? Why yes they were. Is this sedan too small to carry their purchase home? You’d think so, but apparently, they didn’t.
My significant other and I once purchased a 200 lb dresser, and only when we got to our car did we realize it was too much dresser for our little hatchback. So like champs/chumps (however you may look at it), we pushed it on a trolley all the way home. (And yes, we did return the trolley.)
Don’t Tread On Me
Now, I only have my learner’s permit, so I’m probably not the best person to take vehicular advice from. With that being said, I think the owner of this car with uncomfortably smooth tires is probably in for a bad time.
Imagine thinking that you’re too cool for treads?
My Idiot Detector Is Blaring
Everyone has encountered one of these people before. A lane closes which forces drivers to merge into a single lane, but there’s always one (swear word I can’t repeat here) who thinks they're more important than everyone else and drives in the closed lane, then tries to merge near the front, cutting the line and infuriating others who waited for their turn.
Here’s my PSA for the day: Don’t be that guy because then everyone will (rightfully) hate you.
Not On Target
Now, the driver in the car responsible for this shopping faux pas is wearing a red shirt. So was she late for her shift at Target or was she just so eager to hit up their sales that she put the pedal to the metal on the accelerator and not the brakes?
And so the mystery deepens.
You Are Not Clear For Departure
Many of us eventually need to rent a U-Haul or other storage vehicle when we decide to pack up our belongings and move to a new home, and those vehicles are a lot bigger than people might realize.
Somehow I don’t think that damage is going to be covered by the vehicle deposit.
You Can’t Do It
For some reason, vehicles getting stuck under low-clearance bridges amuse me. Whether a lack of situational awareness or hubris, the bridge will always show you who’s boss.
The side of the truck reads “You can do it,” but apparently, this bridge had other plans—and none of them worked well in the driver's favor.
Deals So Good You'll Flip For Them
It’s surprising how many people treat parking lots like the Indy 500 raceway, and Macy’s was apparently having such a stellar sale that this driver just had to get there.
Although I do feel bad for the driver who is going to walk out of the store and wonder what in the hell happened to his car. I guess you could say he's going to flip out when he sees it.
The 2022 H20-Fuelled Tesla
Elon Musk hasn’t quite perfected the driverless car yet, but that’s not stopping this driver from seeing if their car can run on good old-fashioned totally-won’t-destroy-the-paint saltwater.
Just let it go. The Tesla belongs to the sea now.
Elsa Says, “Clean Your Car, Idiot”
One of my biggest pet peeves when on the road (and keep in mind I’m only a passenger) is drivers who don’t clear the snow and ice off their roofs and windshields before driving, effectively turning any debris into flying projectiles.
But I just can’t understand for the life of me how this particular driver managed to get into a car accident. End sarcasm.
This Is Not An Off-Ramp
There’s a lot to unpack here. How did he crash his car underneath the edge of the off-ramp? Didn’t he notice it was a dead end? How are people this monumentally stupid?
I’ll bet though that the only thing getting ramped up right now are his monthly car insurance premiums.
Blinded By The Light
Are you trying to communicate an SOS with your ultrabright headlights, or are you displaying your location so the aliens know where to find you? Either way, lights this bright only accomplish blinding oncoming drivers, and it’s even worse if there’s falling precipitation.
If only these drivers were as bright as their high beams.
You Most Certainly Have A Problem
As unfortunate as this accident looks, you have to hand it to the driver of the Jeep. In happier circumstances, the cover on the spare tire reads “NO PROBLEM,” but in the case of a rollover when the car is flipped upside down, it suddenly reads “PROBLEM.”
At least this driver has a sense of humor. And hopefully car insurance.
