Moronic Driving Episodes
This past week I was parking my car around midnight. I have parked in this spot probably over 1000 times. I rolled into the spot and was slowing down to come to a stop but instead of hitting the brakes, I stepped on the gas and hit a wall. Don't ask me what I was thinking or what happened, because I have no idea. Damage = $1000.
I was completely sober but very tired. It still does not make me feel like less of an idiot. Please share similar stories to make me feel like less of a moron. |

Re: Moronic Driving Episodes
Pretty sure you're supposed to do this at farmers markets.
An old lady did this through the front of a 7-11 I was in when I was a kid. |

Re: Moronic Driving Episodes
In my defense, I park very close to the wall (<1 ft) anyways and did not hit it very hard, but at a bad angle.
I had not been in an accident my first 15 yrs of driving, but this past year I have been rear-ended twice and now this. Actually, I have no defense. I feel like a 15 yr old female driver. |

[/ QUOTE ] I think this is growing on me. Keep it up. Crazy [censored] happens when you drive tired. My first year of driving, had maybe 4 friends in the car, and I lose focus and go about 45mph through a red light...As I'm approaching it, one of my friends goes "...yo man..." I snapped back to attention, and swerved left then right to avoid two different cars. It was pretty [censored] scary. |

Re: Moronic Driving Episodes
I know a guy who is clumsy as hell and has all kind of mishaps you wouldn't think were possible. For example, he once opened the lid on his laptop and in doing so stuck his thumb through the screen.
Anyway, one day he was pulling into his apartment complex which he had lived in for at least 6 months and took a corner too wide and ran into a cement pillar. Totaled the car. Totally sober at the time. |

Re: Moronic Driving Episodes
Okay, this happened about two years ago. While driving to work on a busy 4 lane street, I see a cop making a traffic stop on a side street, and rubberneck, instead of keeping my eyes forward. When I bring my eyes forward, i see the van in front of me (as well as traffic in front of him) has stopped, and I don't have room to stop myself. I brake as hard as I can, but still rear-end the van, giving the cop another ticket to write (for me). Damage was not too bad and nobody hurt but it was pretty stupid on my part to take my eyes off the road. It's not like I'd never seen a cop making a traffic stop before.
