My kid’s just finished the classroom part of driver education and it prompted a discussion of crazy things we’ve seen other drivers do.

The craziest thing I saw, many years ago now, was I came up behind a guy driving a Ford Ranger pickup and could see through his rear window that he was doing tricep extensions with a dumbbell in his right hand. I was more surprised as I passed to see he was shaving with an electric razor in his left hand. I don’t really know how he was steering.

Kiddo said they were told personal grooming was the fourth leading cause of accidents.

One of my friends(absolute stoner who smokes every day) went 70kmh over the speed limit(170kmh) while smoking a joint.

Dutch? I'm guessing because the speed limit. That's insane though, 170 is flat out in most cars.

German. We drove on a random street between cities where you're allowed to drive 100 kmh

[-] Sir_Fridge@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Oh right you drive 100 there, forgot about that. That makes it even more insane!
