Strangest thing you've seen while driving?

I've had a lot of double takes when driving, the only one that comes to mind instantly is the guy I saw in the middle of London rollerblading down the road, indicating with his arms, waiting at junctions and everything. I have no idea if rollerbladers are allowed on the road in the same manner as cyclists but I've never seen it before or since, it seemed really bizarre at the time to both me and my passenger. To be fair, he was making much better progress than I was!
 
Mine has to be whitnessing a a kn*b in a Ford escort RS Turbo going far too fast, jamming on the brakes, loosing control and going through a speedtrap backwards!
 
Driving down the A14 a couple of weeks back towards Cambridge, guy had a DALEK in the back of his Volvo Estate!
 
One evening I passed somebody reversing along the M32 (motorway into Bristol off the M4).

I guess they missed their junction.

One memorable one was a car driving on the motorway here with an unsecured double mattress on the roof.. Each of the 4 people in the car, including the driver, had one arm out of the window holding the mattress so it didn't take off :) Very organized.

I thought about doing that before....then common sense kicked in
 
A new peugeot driving along the M40 in the outside lane with the engine bay on fire. The smoke could be seen for miles.

Not sure if that counts as strange for a Peugeot.
 
Strangest thing i have seen while driving is a cyclist waiting at a red light!!! Very unusual! lol :D
 
Driving to work this morning when I saw a bumper sticker on the car infront that read "I drive like a Cullen"

The Cullen part was sparkly ಠ_ಠ

we sold a sofa to some people who rocked up in an old beemer, they hefted it onto the roof upside down and did the same, four arms out the windows holding on!

While driving home the other evening there was a gentleman behind me in a V6 Brera on the a316 in near stationary traffic, his female passenger leant towards him and disappeared out of view.
When I passed him about 10min later (he got lucky on lane choose) she was still no-where to be seen but he had a huge grin on his face :D

To be fair, it was working, and these idiots were driving very slowly.. But on a 7 lane motorway the consequences of it flying off and landing on someones windscreen were a little concerning. Might be doable for a short local trip though if you dont have any rope
 
A month or two ago on the way to work a woman pulled out on me but slammed the brakes on before she hit me. I looked at her with a WTF sort of look and then noticed she was eating a bowl of cereal :eek:

How can anyone think that'd be a good idea?!

I hope she spilled milk all over herself.
 
leaving Hull for the last time I was sat in the passenger seat, and as I looked to my left, I noticed a car in a field. Not strange I suppose, but witnessing a woman being used as what can onl,y be refered to as a 'poker table' by two blokes made for a chuckle on the way home :)
 
a young lady who was clearly had been giving some some police officers some grief... who decided enough was enough and decided to arrest her. Made a complete hash of it after taking her to the floor she got free and stood up, only to be taken down to the floor again whilst her other female friend hurled abuse at them and the two male friends held her back/watched on.

Was most entertaining, but then it was my turn to pull out of the junction :(
 
Hopefully the story I told a few years ago on here should turn a few heads.

Heading to work down a local bypass as usual, a guy covered in blood runs into the road, nearly gets hit by the car in front of me, dives over their bonnet and runs around to my passenger side. He jumped in my car, and started screaming DRIVE! DRIVE!

I did, with gusto, as I was scared ****less. It turns out he was totally batty, he'd jumped through his front window as he claimed his dead wife was trying to kill him. He told me I was going to die too, and that she'd kill everyone.

Most scary episode of driving, ever. I took him to the nearest police station, when I got there he dived out and ran across the road to the bank. The officer who came outside with me to look for him got a call from the station as we were figuring out where he'd gone, the bank had dialled 999 as he was banging on the counter and threatening everyone.

They detained him, I was sat outside while they were talking to him. He was yelling about her coming to kill them all, and all sorts.

I got quite a cool hand-written note from the police to show why I was late to work, stating 'I'd helped a member of the public with mental health issues'.

Never forget that... :o
 
A while ago when I was approaching a roundabout I had a car come screaming past me, he flew around the roundabout in the wrong direction followed very closely by a taxi.

Yeah it's really dull around here :D.
