I have noticed people doing random stuff while stopped at the red light. Mostly it's women applying different forms of makeup but today takes the cake. I saw a mid-upper aged male using his electronic shaver while driving. It wasn't like a small trimmer or groomer but rather a full sized shaver.
So I was wondering what's the craziest thing you (or a friend.. ahem..) may have done, or have noticed others do, while driving. This video doesn't count.
Only if you're driving a BMW.
Why is that UK paper obsessed with things in Australia - don't they have their own weirdos to do stories on?
Wow, I don't even let people eat in my car. Do you want ants? Thats how you get ants!
Self massage with expensive body lotion
A friend of my friend had a game with a partner. The rules are not to finish, before making 50km of highway journey. Crazy
My dad used to eat 5 min noodle while driving us to school - only at red light. He is not a morning person so that's the only way for him to get breakfasts.
was at the lights and i look over at some guy sitting in the car with his partner, his head facing away from her and hes really going at it picking a booger and then finger straight into the mouth.
i was utterly grossed out.
The one that takes the cake was the gentleman on the news caught inhaling nitrous oxide out of a whipped cream dispenser while driving, on the freeway.
Compared to some comments above I guess what I originally posted was just plain ordinary… I guess I need to be more attentive of others while driving see more of this crazy stuff.
I like to prepare dinner while I'm driving on the way home, i also make sure my laundry is neatly folded while I'm stuck in peak hour traffic. Sometimes I actually drive aswell.
I swipe on my dating apps during peak hour traffic in Sydney when driving. Better than doing nothing
Well you can now look around your surroundings like the rest of us while stopped. Better than doing nothing and better than breaking the law.
My phone is attached to a cradle
Checking on your phone while being in a stand still car queue is no different than checking your phone while waiting to being served in the Post Office or a bank.
So you're the guy who is still sitting at the lights 10-20s after they've gone green while everyone behind is honking, so that the poor bastards at the back of the queue miss the cycle, because you're too horny to wait until you get home to arrange a root? Nice one.
@Levathian: no that's not me, my field of vision is way enhanced compared to an average joe. I can see my phone and the color of the traffic lights at the same time. The drivers that you are talking about are ones that has tunnel vision
If you're a full licence holder then yes, no different than at post office or bank only that it's rude if the postal employee or teller is waiting to get your attention. On the other hand if you're a P-plater then it's illegal even with a cradle.
Bloke in a Diahatsu Sirion was weaving left and right on the M1 near the Hyperdome. I zoomed past to get out of his way and glanced over and saw him (profanity) filling out a form on his dash…
Probably a Centrelink form
daily driving with my wife who always complaining abt life. U need something more crazy than this?
I used to always shave while driving using an electric shaver, saved me a lot of time in the morning and no noise waking the family up when leaving at 5am, usually get to the car park spend thirty seconds getting any areas I missed then was ready for work
Young tradie drinking beer with his windows rolled down and put it back again in his cup holder…
I saw someone getting a head while driving back in 2005 in Fulham, SA
My dad used to roll a cigarette while driving.
At various points he was driving with elbows and knees.
When I was a teenager I drove exactly like Mr.bean. 10 min till shift starts at woolies, put on dirty shirt and pants, sometimes socks and shoes. Jump in the car then do up shirt, shoes and get there in 4-6 minutes depending on how over the limit. Glad I had 80s auto 4 banger and it took an appeal of my license to stop taking so many risks. Common for teens to influence drive as well, road education really wasnt that great, gave up the booze at 19 and have had one ticket in 10 years since.
good to see a reformed soul.. :)
Many years ago I worked construction in Tokyo. One of my co-workers would often eat a bowl of soup noodles with chopsticks while driving the truck to the work site. It's was both impressive and terrifying.
Brush teeth and reading some document, and nearly ran up the footpath. Then raged at me when I over took him.
He was 20 kmh under the speed limit and left 10 car length spaces in front of him during morning rush hour.
Sometimes idiots tailgate you when you are doing the speed limit on the left or the only lane. And then when you finally part ways they honk right before they disappear from your rear view mirror.
Yes sir, by being the last and only person to honk, you "win", very impressive.
I indicate. Crazy right??
