Driving a car comes with its benefits, but it can be stressful at times. There is nothing more frustrating than sitting in traffic, watching the time go by as you stay stuck in your unmoving car. Sometimes driving can be exhausting, especially after a long day of work. But before you honk your horn in frustration, remember that although driving isn’t always a fun experience, you can often find some interesting scenery to help keep you amused behind the wheel. We decided to compile a list of some of the weirdest things people have spotted on the road.
No Hands
Speaking of stressful experiences, moving houses is surely up there on one of life’s most anxiety-inducing activities. Packing up all of your belongings and finding an efficient way to transport them to your next house can be a huge headache. Luckily, this resourceful person found a quick - yet likely difficult - way to move some of his furniture to his future home.
We can only hope that this skilled biker made it to his destination without crashing!
Bad Judgment
Do you know that feeling when you accidentally make a wrong turn and Waze lets you know that the mistake ended up adding 20 minutes to your journey? Sometimes when we’re driving, we are forced to make quick decisions. And if we use poor judgment, we can end up adding significant time to our travels. This is what happened to this poor guy who thought a footbridge was an overpass.
It’s hard to understand why this driver assumed that driving over the grass to reach an overpass was normal. Hopefully, it wasn’t too difficult for him to get out of there!
Unattended Snake
Every responsible driver and pet owner knows that leaving your dog in a parked car can be dangerous, or even deadly. Temperatures in an unattended car can exceed over 120 degrees within minutes! But how irresponsible is it to leave a real live snake alone in a hot car?
Seeing a snake in a car by itself is already strange, but having it roam freely without a cage insight? That’s just ridiculous. Although we can suspect that the snake simply sneaked into the car, and it was likely that he was someone’s pet...
Wide Open
There are a few ways in which you could transport a ladder using a car. One of the most efficient ways would be to attach the ladder to a luggage rack on top of the car. However, this one driver in Pennsylvania had a very unique way of carrying their ladder.
Since there was no luggage rack on top of their car, the Pennsylvanian driver simply slid the ladder over the backseat. The ladder was way too long for the back seat so the man decided to swing both of the doors wide open to fit the ladder.
Making Up Your Mind
Sometimes drivers have to make quick instinctive decisions when driving to prevent an accident or just plain drive safely. And sometimes, it's made harder for us than we need it to be.
To stop or not to stop, is the question we face when reading both of these signs. Imagine coming across a situation like this, how confusing! We wish you luck and we recommend taking it one sign at a time.
Cosplay Driver
Cosplaying is a pretty common activity these days where people wear special costumes to represent a certain character in a video game, movie, or TV show. People wear cosplay costumes to Comic-Con events all of the time, but they don’t usually carry about their day wearing the outfit in public.
This motorcycle driver, however, had no shame when he wore his Captain America costume while driving down the freeway. He even had a matching Captain America themed motorbike to top it all off!
Beware: Monster Mosquitos
Driving around a town and encountering this sign? We think it's time to exit immediately. Many signs indicate what's coming up like a crosswalk or a deer crossing, but this one we have little interest in finding out what is around the corner waiting for us!
It's funny signs like this that make traveling around so interesting. One moment you're watching out for rockslides and the next you're wondering where the gigantic killer bugs are. Happy traveling!
A Cuddly Passenger
Raccoons usually enjoy spending their time raiding your trash cans and rummaging through garbage bags. But did you know that some raccoons like to be cuddled - or at least they look like they do!
In this photo, we can see a cute little raccoon sitting content on what is probably his owner’s lap. The two friends were taking a drive in the man’s truck or van when they caught a passerby’s attention. The fellow driver just had to snap a pic.
Hungry Shark
Shockingly enough, there are two crazy things in this one hilarious road photo. While it is common to see buses being used for advertisements, these people took it to the next level by transforming the entire vehicle into a shark.
What makes this photo even funnier is the other strangely shaped car just a few meters ahead: a smaller ride in the shape of a hamburger. The two vehicles are positioned so perfectly that it looks as though the shark is chasing down the burger.
Be Humble, Sit Down
Though being considered humble is a wonderful compliment, it can never really be said about yourself. Because if you think you are a humble person - the act alone of saying it out loud is enough to prove that you aren’t humble at all. We can see a perfect example of this on wheels in this ridiculous road photo.
It’s safe to say that this Bentley owner was trying to be sarcastic when he put the word “Humble” on the license plate of his flashy ride.
Car Rick
Some Rick and Morty fans take it to the next level with their love for the show. They buy loads of Rick and Morty T-shirts, upgrade their bedrooms into a Rick and Morty themed space, and keep a photo of Morty as their phone screensaver. This dedicated fan, though, made his love for Rick clear by turning his car into a vehicle resembling one of the made-up cars shown in the popular cartoon.
This creative driver likely made a few Rick and Morty fans turn their heads.
We Will Rock You
Queen is a British rock band that was formed in the 1970s. But we probably didn’t have to tell you that, because Queen has written some of the most popular and well-known songs on the planet.
One of those hit Queen songs happens to be called “We Will Rock You.” People from all over the world know every word to this iconic tune. This truck driver, who was likely a Queen fan, decided to write the famous song lyrics on the back of his truck. This worked out perfectly for him as his job was to transport rocks.
Muahaha
Getting a customized license plate is costly, but sometimes license plate ideas can be so clever that it makes it worth the money. Here is a perfect example of a license plate that may have cost a lot to make, but was paid back in laughs and enjoyment. This photo has gone viral on Reddit since its debut.
The driver probably has a great time riding around town in his devilish looking red car with the hilarious license plate teasing other drivers.
Cats On Wheels
At first glance, the giant cat playset attached to the top of this car is likely what initially caught your eye. But we promise that if you take a closer look, there is something even weirder about this funny road photo.
We know that cats are smart animals, but we didn’t know they were capable of operating heavy machinery. Nonetheless, it looks like this cute cat is about to take the car for a ride around town as he is sitting patiently behind the wheels.
Oh Cell No
Even if puns can sometimes seem stupid and dad-joke-like, there is just something about them that always makes us laugh. This simple yet hilarious pun was discovered on a highly in rural Utah.
The first reaction when seeing such a funny sign would probably be to take a picture and send it to your friends, but that defeats the purpose of the pun. If you’re thinking about texting and driving, cell no! No phones behind the wheel.
To Michigan and Beyond
Being a truck driver can be tiring, and sometimes the drivers decide to make things exciting by adding some flair or fun accessories to their trucks. This Michigan truck driver had an awesome idea to drive in style.
One of the most iconic kids’ movies of all time was brought to life by this incredibly creative driver. Buzz Lightyear and Woody can be found chilling on the back of this guy’s truck, proving to us once and for all that sometimes life does imitate the movies!
Pi Kia Chu
As one of the most successful franchises of all time, Pokemon’s most famous and arguably most loved character just has to be cute little Pikachu. Pokemon fan or not, everyone seems to love this adorable character.
However, some people tend to take their love for Pokemon, and Pikachu especially, just a little bit too far. This driver did exactly that by transforming his vehicle into a Pikachu lookalike. At first glance, the Pikachu tail may not seem like the most effective windshield wiper, but fortunately it’s simply attached to the existing wiper.
Officer, Please, It’s Just Milk!
No one is above the law - not even cute little toddlers. With that being said, this tiny driver was caught red-handed when he had a dangerous run-in with one of the neighborhood’s police officers.
It’s safe to say this little guy was going way under the legal speed limit in his plastic car, but he surely did something wrong to get the attention of a policeman. Perhaps the cop was pulling him over for driving with an open bottle of milk in the passenger’s seat.
The Tickle Monster
Though it can be tempting to get comfortable in a car and put your feet out the window as you lean back, it isn’t the greatest idea. Putting your feet on the dashboard, or out of the window of your car is dangerous. They can easily get hit if another car whizzes past.
Fortunately, nothing too scary happened to this woman when she decided to hang her legs out the window of the car. What did happen, though, is that a hilarious biker saw it as a great opportunity to give her foot a little tickle!
UDO - Unidentified Driving Object
Last month, the US disclosed three unbelievable videos showing footage of UFOs soaring through the sky. However, it wasn’t the first time the world has seen an alien-like object. This driver was lucky enough to spot a strange UDO cruising down the road. We can only hope that this picture isn’t some sort of foreshadowing for a future alien invasion on Earth.
It’s hard to tell if driving a vehicle like this is even legal. Nonetheless, the car has been spotted multiple times by different drivers in Indianapolis.
A Sheriff's Car With An Identity Crisis
This sneaky sheriff has taken his “undercover” job very seriously. The sheriff’s car looks exactly like a taxi if you’re driving behind it, but if you get side by side next to the vehicle you’ll discover that it’s not a taxi at all.
According to a Florida native, it’s part of an advertising campaign in the neighborhood. They are trying to convey the message that taking a cab is a lot cheaper than paying DUI fines if you are caught drunk driving.
I Am a Train!
It looks like the bus services in Glasgow have a great sense of humor. When the trains were out of order in the city and everyone was forced to use buses, the drivers decided to make their train travelers feel more at home. The message written on the bus’s LED board reads “Choo Choo, I am a train!”
Glasgow residents say that funny messages on the buses aren’t anything new. One person even mentioned that he saw a bus in the neighborhood that read “BRB.”
Vampire Slayer for Hire
Seeing a giant Jeep carrying a trunk full of extremely sharp, extremely thin logs cruising down a freeway is a pretty strange sight. It was already weird enough to see such a large amount of stakes in one place, but if you take a closer look the sign on the back of the Jeep is even funnier.
The text below the stakes reads “Vampire Slayer For Hire,” a very fitting message for a car carrying that many sharp wood sticks!
Bad to the Bone
Road trips aren’t always fun. Sometimes you will find yourself staring out the window just searching for something to help keep you entertained during your travels. Fortunately, this driver spotted something that gave him a great laugh.
This driver snapped a hilarious photo of a furry passenger with a helmet and goggles to match. The best part of this dog’s helmet? It has a little sticker on it that reads “Bad to the bone.” Now that’s one cool dog!
Chonky Doggo
Technically, dogs are not able to drive. But this chubby, rebellious pup got the courage to sit behind the wheel! We all know he is not the one driving so this might just be a photo that’s based on perspective. The driver must be leaning back or out of the car filling up gas.
However, that does not stop this from being a great picture of an adorable dog. Be sure to send it to your friends or family on your next road trip!
Can the Car Go With That Cargo?
In some areas in the world, this is a very regular sight to see on the road. Nevertheless, we have never seen anything quite like it. Even though this car is moving, this does not look like the brightest idea...
However, this is no ordinary truck. This is a very special truck that is made to carry heavy cargo. It seems to be rolling down the road perfectly fine, but we would not want to be behind the wheel of this car!
Keep Left or Do Not Follow?
Sometimes while driving, you may have to face some difficult choices on the road - like these two trucks. It is not always easy, especially when one car says “do not follow” and the other car says ‘Keep left.’
When those are the only two lanes and no turn for miles on this highway, what are you supposed to do? It seems like there is no right - or left - decisions. They never prepared us for these kinds of situations in Drivers ED.
Mama Truck and Baby Truck
It’s always fun to see an older animal in the wild sitting alongside their young. A big lion next to a tiny lion cub? Adorable. A mama cat holding her baby kitten? Even cuter. But did you ever think it would be somehow pleasurable to see a giant truck holding a little truck?
Whoever was driving past this truck and snapped this great photo surely had a laugh that day. Just look how sweet the tiny toy truck looks all strapped in!
Despicable Traffic
Despicable Me was one of the most popular animated films of the entire 21st century so far. Minions, adorable little yellow creatures featured in the movie, have absolutely taken over the world since Despicable Me’s release. They have inspired thousands of Halloween costumes and children’s birthday cakes. But did you know that minions have also taken over the streets?
You might want to laugh when you see this photo of a giant minion statue that fell down in central Dublin, but the Irish drivers were not laughing. Traffic was held up for hours.
Traffic Stopper
Sadly, nursing babies in public used to be pretty frowned upon. Fortunately people have become more accepting of mothers who feed their children out in the open. However, humans aren’t the only ones who want to be able to nurse their babies in public without judgment. This mother deer decided that the middle of the road was the perfect place to feed her kids.
The mom could have definitely chosen a better spot, but sometimes mother nature just needs to do its thing.
Leedle Leedle Leedle Lee
People of all ages love to watch this hilarious TV series, and we can understand why. After all, Spongebob Squarepants is an awesome show. As it turns out, this enthusiastic driver seems to agree. This driver decided to express his love for the famous cartoon by customizing his wheels - Patrick Star style.
We know that tire customization is fairly common these days, but we have never seen Patrick Star quite like this before! Now that’s a dedicated Spongebob fan.
The Leash He Can Do Is Paw for All the Damage
Imagine you’re working at a gas station. Everything is going smoothly and you’re having a pretty normal day until you hear a loud crashing sound. You look out the window only to discover that a giant truck has knocked over a huge tree. You go outside to take a closer look. Imagine your reaction when you finally check who’s in the driver seat!
At least the dog promises he will “paw” for all of the damage.
Let Me Guess
What’s the first question you get when a policeman pulls you over on the road. You guessed it - “License and registration, please?” This clever driver also guessed it right, and he decided to play an innocent prank on the cops in the neighborhood by adding a sticker on the side of his car that reads “Let me guess... license and registration.”
You may be wondering how an officer would react to this joke. Fortunately, they took it pretty well. Apparently they even found it funny, as we can see from the reflection of who was taking the photo.
“Cool” Breeze
If you live somewhere where it’s sunny and hot outside most of the time, and you have the funds for it, you may want to consider investing in a convertible. There is no better feeling in the world than feeling the cool breeze on your skin as you drive down the road. However, for this particular driver, the breeze may have been a bit too cool.
Most convertible owners close their roof up when it gets cold outside, but this guy didn’t seem to mind the freezing weather.
Holiday Drivers
Some people like to go all-out when it comes to decorations for the holiday season. They dress their entire property in colorful Christmas lights and even dress their pets up in Santa hats. This driver, however, took Christmas decorations to the next level.
The driver of the motorcycle is dressed head-to-toe in a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer costume. His passenger, or at least what looks like his passenger, went full-on Grinch. They even have a sack of gifts straight from Santa himself.
Racecar on a Low Budget
We all have dreams. Some of us want a bigger house, some want a better job, and this fine gentleman clearly wants a better car. He may be stuck with a giant red van, but he made the best out of his situation by getting a very clever paint job done on his ride.
The top half of the car looks like an ordinary van. But if you take a closer look, the bottom part of the car has a fancy black racecar painted on it.
Adults on Board
You are probably familiar with the classic sticker that some parents like to have stuck on the back of their car: “baby on board.” The point of these stickers is to alert emergency services that there is a child on board in the event of a car accident. It is also meant to get people to be more careful on roads if they know there’s a young child involved.
These clever drivers want everyone to drive carefully, even if there is no baby in sight. Their bumper sticker reads “Adults on board - we want to live too.”
Quick, the Road Cone Is Running Away!
Some people get pretty creative around Halloween time. This person looked like he totally ran out of ideas for a costume that year, so he decided to dress up like one of the road cones. Or maybe, he was trying to dress up as an Orange Dreamsicle but was standing in the wrong place at the wrong time in this hilarious photo.
At first glance, it almost looks like one of the road cones decided to grow legs and walk around.
Yellow Brick Road
It’s never a good idea to forget to close the trunk of your car. You never know what kinds of valuable items could slip out without you noticing when you’re cruising down the road. In this paint truck driver’s case, he made the mistake of forgetting to shut the back of his truck. This lead to a huge golden path of bright yellow paint leading all the way down the end of the road.
The driver probably had his worst day on the job, but at least the gold paint looks like it was made by a superhero!
How Many Sofas?
Do you remember those games that you used to play when you were a child where you had to guess how many M&M’s were inside a jar? Try to do the same thing with this photo: guess how many sofas and chairs are piled on top of this truck.
We don’t know the actual answer to that question, but it sure seems like a lot of sofas stuck on top of that relatively small truck. It sort of looks like a scene from a cartoon, just before things go sideways - literally. We wouldn’t want to be stuck driving behind this guy.
Just Hangin’ Out
Seeing a group of men sitting peacefully at a dinner table isn’t a rare sight. But when the table and chairs are placed in the back of a pickup truck - that’s when it gets pretty weird.
An Instagram user snapped a photo of this funny scene while driving down a Nigerian highway. Four men quietly seated at a dinner table would be an incredibly strange sight in the States, but it actually happens to be a very common occurrence in Nigeria.
