Once, my friend was driving and saw a really huge dog on the side of the road. He got so distracted trying to figure out what breed it was that he almost drove into a mailbox. He slammed on the brakes just in time and we all had a good laugh.
Well, I heard about a driver who was eating a really messy sandwich while driving. The sauce dripped all over his shirt and he got so distracted trying to clean it up that he honked at a stop sign by mistake. Everyone around was very confused.
One horror story is a driver who was texting while driving on a highway. He didn't notice the traffic had slowed down suddenly. He crashed into the back of a truck at full speed. His car was completely wrecked and he was seriously injured.
Educate yourself and others about the dangers of distracted driving. Share these horror stories with friends and family. And always be aware of your surroundings. Don't let your mind wander while driving. For instance, if you are about to reach an intersection, be extra vigilant. These steps can go a long way in preventing the kinds of horror stories associated with distracted driving.
The first time I drove on the highway, I was super nervous. I accidentally turned on the windshield wipers instead of the turn signal when I was about to change lanes. It was really confusing for the other drivers, but they were nice about it. I learned my lesson and now always double - check before making any moves.
Because drinking and driving is a life - threatening situation. It can cause accidents that result in serious injuries or even death. There's nothing funny about endangering lives.
One time, my driving instructor told me about a student who confused the gas and the brake. Instead of gently pressing the gas to move forward, they stomped on the brake so hard that both of them jerked forward in the car. It was a hilarious yet scary moment for the instructor.
There was this time when a woman was driving to a job interview. She was so nervous that she mistook the gas pedal for the brake. The car lurched forward suddenly when she was parking. Luckily, no one was hurt. She still managed to make it to the interview on time, but she had a good laugh about it later.
There was a driving examiner who got into a car with a very chatty student. The student was talking non - stop about their cat's adventures instead of focusing on driving. When it came to parallel parking, the student was still mid - story. The examiner had to interrupt and say, 'Well, your cat's tales are great, but can we park this car first?'
One time, a drunk guy thought his headlights were disco lights. So while driving, he was flashing them on and off in a rhythm like he was at a party. Other drivers were really confused. He got pulled over quickly, but his crazy idea of his car being a mobile disco was quite a story.
