Intro
Plenty of people out there have cars. Very few of these people are good at operating them. Most accidents are pretty mundane. However, these 10 wrecks define ridiculous and bizarre.
Hand-Signal Miscommunication
10. Hand-Signal Miscommunication
Car: Pontiac Grand Am
Driver Says: "Frantic waving means what again?"
Complex Says: When a man who is directing a car starts wildly waving his arms at you and holding his hands out, this usually doesn't mean "mash the throttle."
Drive-Thru Open
9. Drive-Thru Open
Car: GMC Sierra
Driver Says: "But I thought the sign said...."
Complex Says: This is not how a drive-thru works. Perhaps this driver just got so excited by the opportunity to "get full-on value."
Look Fido, Cameras!
8. Look Fido, Cameras!
Car: Lincoln LS
Driver Says: "I didn't even see it." (We're not making that up.)
Complex Says: How the heck do you not see eight tons of rock in the middle of the damn road?
Just Dropping In
7. Just Dropping In
Car: Subaru WRX STI
Driver Says: "Hmm, the road looks a lot like a railroad embankment. Hmm, the road looks a lot like the sky. Hmm, the parking spot looks a lot like the top floor of a septic tank business."
Complex Says: Driving up a railroad embankment, into the sky, and finally falling through the roof of a septic servicing business, before fleeing the scene and hastily phoning in the car as stolen is a bad plan. Take it from the awesomely named Royce Morales here--it ends in arrest.
Class is Cancelled
6. Class Is Cancelled
Car: Pontiac Gran Prix
Driver Says: "Due to unforeseen circumstances...."
Complex Says: We think that writing it on the board was unnecessary. The big-ass car sticking through the damn wall probably made the point well enough.
Extreme Multi-Tasking
5. Extreme Multi-Tasking
Car: Ford Thunderbird
Driver Says: "I told you, I was shaving." (We didn't make this one up, either.)
Complex Says: A woman crashed her car while on the way to see her boyfriend because she was attempting to shave her lady-bits while her ex-husband steadied the wheel for her. No... words...
Misunderstanding the Term "Public Transportation"
4. Misunderstanding The Term "Public Transportation"
Car: Ford Explorer
Driver Says: "I'm sorry officer. They said it was open to the public."
Complex Says: The subway system is open to public traffic. Public FOOT traffic.
Introducing Olympic Automotive Gymnastics
3. Introducing Olympic Automotive Gymnastics
Car: Mazdaspeed3
Driver Says: "Gotta get the angle just right.... YESSSSSS! Stuck it like a pro!"
Complex Says: The police report may have said this teenager was driving a "sport utility vehicle." But we know a 263hp torque-steering Mazdaspeed3 when we see one.
Fulfilling Hair-Based Sterotypes
2. Fulfilling Hair-Based Stereotypes
Car: Opel
Driver Says: "OMG! My hair is all messed up. I wonder if the policeman will be cute. I should totally be looking my best for him...just in case."
Complex Says: Blondes should avoid fulfilling every dumb-blonde joke we've ever heard. Twenty bucks says this girl's daddy spent $125,000 so she could go to a nice college and get her MRS.
This is Not Wayne, Nor His World
1. This is Not Wayne, Nor His World
Car: Toyota Yaris
Driver Says: "Do you have any Grey Poupon?"
Complex Says: We have nothing against turning up your favorite tunes and getting into the music. Just try to keep it to a low roar, all right?
