QOTD: driving in jersey

question of the day: what is the craziest/funniest/most dangerous thing that's ever happened to you while you were driving?

on my 18th birthday i was drinking at a bar with some friends. on our way home, i was so drunk i "fell asleep". we were in a small pick up truck and got clipped by a tractor trailer and flipped over. the bed of the truck came off and went up the road about 50 feet away, and we had to crawl out of the driver's side window to get out. broken glass everywhere, even in my pockets which was weird. we went to the hospital in an ambulance and got all checked out and everything. minor injuries oddly enough, as it was a pretty bad crash. i had to call my mom from the hospital and she was asleep... she asked me what time it was and i was crying and told her it was 3:15 in the morning. she yelled at me and said she would be there to pick me up right away and then told me to try to sober up by then. i asked her why she would say that and she replied "it's a quarter after 12".

Driving 100 mph on a gravel road in my Dad's car - just me, no passengers.

driving down I95 someone going South bound crossed the grassy divider into the north bound lane and was headed toward me in my lane till I swerved.

a hooker tried to carjack me at gunpoint

the one that comes to mind just happened on xmas - i was driving and a car coming in the other direction lost control of their car, came into my lane head on, then swerved back and forth-i just passed them when they crossed over the yellow line again, did a 180 and flipped over in a ditch - yes, have to say that was very scary

A crowbar flew off the back of a dump truck and bounced off the roof of my car.

Did a 360 powerslide while going up route 1 because the steering wheel was yanked out of my hand. Morale: never have an argument with a woman while driving....anything can and probably will happen. we were fine and so was the car....for some reason i didn't panic, probably too pissed off to be scared

besides racing my car on 95 at around 130mph and making it home from phila in about 20 minutes... probably having a deer fly across my hood from underneath the bottom of a tractor trailer at around 2 in the morning and not having one scratch on my car. That ranks up there for me.

when i was in high school - i had a brief smoking phase...so i am driving back from school smoking and trying really hard to keep the smoke out of the car so my parents couldn't smell it - and making a left turn, plus messing around with the radio - almost got into a TERRIBLE accident, but i didn't. i guess that's the most dangerous - i don't really live on the wild side...although, one time - i got the best motorcycle ride of my life - going sooooooooooooooo fast and going around all corners - the bike was so close to the ground, it was AWESOME.

i was in the passenger seat with the with the window down, just enjoying the ride, when i felt a thump on my chest. my friend said it was probably just the wind on the seat belt, but when we stopped and got out of the car, there was a bird in the back window! i got hit by a bird.

this is crazy, funny and dangerous. One time on the nj turnpike I was following an 18-wheeler. All of a sudden I heard what I thought was a gunshot.
One of the back tires of the 18-wheeler burst, peeled off the wheel, uncoiled and was hurtling towards me, right for the windshield of my car. So, I did what most people do when a giant object is headed right for them, I ducked, while driving.
I kept the car on the road but the tire uncoiled and was now a long, flat piece of rubber and steel with death written all over it. One busted through windshield on the passenger side. The other end of what was now a big “U” flapped around and ripped off my passenger mirror and just flapped mercilessly against the roof of the car.
The truck never even stopped. I pulled over. Pulled the tire out of my windshield and drove to the nearest windshield place.

Well, there we were, driving about 369 mph down a small country road....drinking, singing, and just having a grand ol time when Billy, the crazy sheep of the group, decided it would be funny to cover my eyes right before a hairpin turn. I have to admit, it was funny but we ended up deep into the forest where the Blair witch made us walk in circles for days. At this point we all got very frustrated with Billy. We were starving so we decided to play the "Alive" game and guess who was the first to go?

in australia they have these things called "road trains", which are big 18 wheelers with 3 and 4 full size trailers attached. they also have one lane highways. not such a good combination, especially if you aren't used to driving on the left!

I was on my way to work 2 years ago when I was hit by a Snapple truck. I was perpendicular to the truck and my hood was totally pinned under his truck as he drove down route 1 for what seemed like an eternity. The back tire was rolling and rolling on the side of my car as I was being dragged along. I was waiting for it to catch, bump up, and land on top of my car, which would have instantly crushed me. Thankfully, the tire finally just bumped me out and he sped off. I gave chase and got his license plate and took him to court. Either that time, or the time I launched my car off of a snow bank into the woods which probably looked like a Knight Rider turbo boost circa 1983.

sex, sex, sex.

A deer jumped over the hood of my car and miraculously didn’t touch it.
Another time I was in a rush, sat down, started the car and drove off. Unbeknownst to me there was a yellowjacket on the seat. It stung me on the ass while I was driving.

getting a bj on the parkway thinking i was doing 75 when i looked down and saw i was going 20

I pulled out of the parking lot and was trying to get on the road and I heard this loud thump. I had pulled out of the lot and into a Nissan Maxima. Sun glare was involved. Luckily no injuries to people nor to cars

while driving home from Wildwood I put the car on cruise control to take a catnap, and had my friend steer the car. We eventually got pulled over by a cop for driving too close to the shoulder. Pretty studid.
