Noticed an elderly lady, on a mobility scooter waiting at a T junction, with a dog on her lap and one by her side on a lead! Crazy! :eek:

Driving along a country lane and saw a lady on a rather large horse - texting on her phone! Madness!

Along the side of the road through Ashdown Forest, were cows and sheep laying and grazing without a care in the world.
No fences to keep them off the road.

What crazy things have you seen and thought, really?
 
A 55 plate Golf behind me in a queue today had the slowest wipers I've ever seen
Must have taken 15 seconds for a full sweep - completely useless.

An HGV trying to do a U-turn around a mini roundabout that a transit would struggle to get round.
Got stuck....demolished 2 signs and a traffic light......
 
Finally did me hot air ballon ride early Sunday morning, was gonna do a blog.

anyway the sat nav took me through hill Billy's country. (Took off from Tissington in Derbyshire). Went down one rd/lane and it took us through a ford with about 50 ducks on it that did not want to move. Half mile later there's about 30 sheep chilled out in the middle of the rd, same again don't wanna move. 200 yd later four cows that's fast on.

it was surreal. And a bit spooky with the fog about.

Was he a learner? :eek:

A cyclist (clothed entirely in Black) cycling down a busy bypass where visibility was not far off zero due to thick fog.

Tbf, his bike had a reflector. :mmm:
 
A youth flying about on a scooter (showing off to school girls) leaning forward onto the handle bars and spinning the rear tyre while on the move...for his throttle to become stuck wide open and make him veer off and start tank slapping before mounting a kerb and crashing into a lamppost. Funniest thing I've seen I years, had to pullover to calm myself and my colleague down as I couldn't drive for laughing.

Wish I could have seen that, sounds a bit like that hilarious clip with Jay from The Inbetweeners.

An elderly Gentleman, complete with zimmer frame, standing waiting to cross a busy road - when there's a perfectly good Pelican crossing - I kid you not - 25 yards away....

You should have stopped and let Fragger cross the road Ian...

It's all right for you sunshine, but I can't walk 25 yards without having to stop for a pee!
 
A woman pushing a pram, after I drove past I looked in my mirror to see a scotty dog in the pram...

There used to be a potty old woman round our way who took her dog out in a shopping trolley. She even continued to do this when it passed away. It was wrapped up in a blanket with its head sticking out. The council eventually took it off her after a few days.
 
on strictly on the road.

driving past a local course here in Inversneck (Torvean) saw a family playing football on the 18th green. Mother , father and two kids, using the flag as one of the goal posts.

Shakes head smiley!!!!
