People doing strange things in their cars

Mr Magners

Sitting in stop-start traffic yesterday morning on the Naas Road, heading towards Dublin city centre, there was a chap in a red Ford Courier van behind me. I happened to look back at one stage and saw him playing a tune on a harmonica!! I kept an eye on him and every time we stopped he'd lift the harmonica and have another blast at it, obviously I couldn't hear what he was playing but he certainly seemed to be giving it socks.

Gave me a good laugh and lifted the spirits yesterday I must say.

Anyone else got any they'd like to share, help to ease the rainy Thursday blues?

I heard of a trucker who was spotted cooking a fry up and watching a DVD while driving.

nothing to unusual. Review mirror tends to be the make up women and mobile phones and i'm actually surprised at the amount of nose pickers i see in their cars. I honestly think when people are in their cars they think their invisible

Seen a few arguments also.

I've seen;
a woman try change a baby's nappy,
A woman 'disapearing' while her fella drives on the m50,

Funniest was an executive type chatting away with the phone stuck to his ear and a motorcycle cop pull up beside him, cop the phone and tap on the window. Yer man almost had a heart attack

I like to pick my nose, while driving on national road... No one can see me doing it anyway! I am too fast!

I remember an elderly farmer who used to play the harmonica while ploughing. The tractor had no cab and you hear it over the sound of the engine.

Yer man playing the harmonica is a legend!

I've seen a couple people reading the newspaper (rested on the steering wheel) on the N7. I clip my toenails on that road. Cruise control is great.:P

Always remember one of my neighbours lada Riva broke down on the road and he got out and his trousers nearly fell down

Not exactly strange, but before the N3/M50 interchange was upgraded, I regularly looked across to the other lane and watched fatties eat their recommended daily calorie intake in biscuits and sweets. Probably went home and ate a salad before lamenting their "bad genes".

I'm a nose picker. When I clean out the car I hoover boogers from the underside of my seat.

On Tuesday morning seen a woman on the motorway with her 2 hands up fixing her hair looking in the rear view mirror, controlling the steering wheel with her legs while over taking me so doing at least 120kph :eek:

Had a very pretty blondey woman behind me i Traffic the other day. Out of no where she started digging deep in the nose! Couldn't believe it, she really, really went at it.

BLeh!

From what I've seen over the years, every other person on M1 is on phone. Recently I've seen drivers looking at iPads on top of the steering wheel as they drive. This is now in the increase, and people reading folded up newspaper, or normal A4 sheet business notes is decreasing.

Strangest thing I've seen is four adults in a Cinquecento around Clare, bopping along to some music, two in the back was jumping up and down (as much as they can inside tiny Cinquecento), but the car was bouncing and swaying all over the place as if its a boat.

Car weaving all over the road in front of me, guy had a full sized map out over the dash board.

Saw another guy watching TV.

Have also seen someone eating a curry.

I looked in my rear view mirror to see this beautiful exotic looking girl, then she shoved her finger deep up her nose digging for fooking Australia! She was no beauty to me anymore...

Voodoomelon

Told this before, but a friend of a friend saw a man launching a pile of ducks out his car window on the M1 at 100kph.

I used to be bad for eating in the car. When you drive long distances on straight roads with cruise control on you think that you can do anything and drive at the same time.

playing the harmonica in the car lol no wonder there are so many road deaths..

fasttalkerchat

Not exactly the same thing. But I bought a new car in january, something small and simple so the girlfriend can learn in it. Went from a 1.9tdi Toledo to a 1.2 petrol clio. The 2nd biggest difference is the lack of a cup holder!

I found this out the hard way when, after buying a coffee realised I had nowhere to put it. Ended up squeezing it too tight and the lid popped off. Luckily I could keep it level until I stopped the car and binned it.

I remember walking down the road with a friend, about 15 years ago. A car driving up threw out a fully cooked (but eaten) chicken and it hit my mate in the leg. Funniest thing ever!
