Once driving a truck down an old country hwy, in the middle of summer, I came upon a bloated raccoon in the middle f the road. At the same time a car was driving towards me. Well, we met at the raccoon that I couldn’t avoid hitting. The thing exploded all over the passing car.
Haha! Gross!!!! I came across a skunk one time in the road. I had a little red cavalier convertible that say really low. I wasn’t thinking and thought, man I don’t want to run that over, I’ll straddle it with the tires. The dang thing was so bloated up, it hit the bottom of the car when I drove over it and exploded. You want to talk about STINK! I could smell that skunk for weeks!!!
In driving school, I was notorious for driving down one way streets the in the wrong direction, causing my instructor to nickname me ‘Kamikaze’. Luckily for everyone involved, I overcame that habit. Those were fun times.
Haha! That’s great, but I’m really glad you decided to go the right way down the streets now. The world thanks you. LOL
The funniest one, which is also the most embarrassing, happened when I was 18 years old. My best friend and I were driving around “cottage country” close to the beach in the middle of winter. Obviously, with everything being under many feet of snow, there was no one around. We both needed to use a washroom, but we were out in the middle of nowhere. We hadn’t seen any other vehicles driving around in the area, so we thought we’d pull over. Well, just our luck – a car decided to come around the bend at the exact moment that we both were squatting in the ditch! LOL! So embarrassing.
OMG! Too dang funny!!!! Living in the country in the middle of no where, me and my friends peed on many a side road! LOL, thankfully we were never caught! Thanks for the comment Darlene, ya made me chuckle!!
Sounds like a great book! Don’t think I’d have the stomach to be an instructor. :D
drove my car under my mom’s clothesline in the backyard and the antenna caught and ripped out the clothesline…. embarrassing
Haha! That’s great!
One time when I was driving on the freeway, I was getting off at an exit. I slow down for the exit, but there was a car behind me who kept speeding up, forcing me to speed up too. At the last moment, the car changes lanes back to the freeway and speeds away, but not before a highway patrol pulls out right in front of me and puts the lights on. The last I saw of the tailgater was him being pulled over by the cop. WIN.
WINNING! ;) You must have tiger blood! LOL!
Sounds like a fascinating book! I don’t have any great driving stories myself, but I saw someone rear end a driver’s ed car once! Talk about embarrassing! I could just hear the instructor saying to the students in the car, “and that is why it is important to maintain your distance and break early.”
I think that my funniest driving story was when I was about 16 I had an old hatchback cavalier and we had a bunch of people over at my house. My parents werent home and we all decided that we needed to go to my friends house (about 10 min away). So we piled 16 people into my car… It was insane but so much fun!
Holy cow!!! 16 people!!!! That’s nuts! You can barely get that many in the back of a truck. WTG to you and your friends, hell y’all probably broke a world record. LOL!!
This sounds like a hilarious read! Thanks for the giveaway!
The one story I have is when I had my 1st car I had put off getting gas a little too long. Just happened to run out of fuel on the top of a long hill but on a busy road. I knew there was a gas station at the bottom of the hill but it was on the other side of the road. I slipped the transmission into neutral and hoped for the best. It was my lucky day because as I got to the bottom of the hill there was just enough break in the traffic for me to cross over to the station with just enough momentum to pull up all the way to the pumps. I don’t think I ever let a car get that low again.
My story is actually not very funny but it a true story. My sister actually left her wallet on the back bumper of the truck after leaving the grocery store. But from some kind of a miracle the wallet didn’t fall from the bumper at all. We spent an whole hour searching inside the house from top to bottom never realizing it was on the bumper. By chance one of the kids noticed the wallet and were we ever shocked to see the wallet made it home without falling from the bumper.
MY wife ran into me…in our own driveway!
