Default What have you seen stuck in traffic?

So I was on my way to work this morning and stuck in traffic, when a red NB pulled up on my right hand side. I had my hand up and ready to wave when I saw the woman driving the NB smoking and ashing on her dash. Ummm I used to smoke and last time I checked you ashed in the ashtray or out the window. AND when I say/type on the dash, I mean ON THE DASH. No ashtray, no cup, NOTHING. She puttered by and her NB was FILTHY AND to top it off she had 2 big gashes in her rocker panel and one in her left bumper. I was sad to see that poor NB is such horrible conditions

That is what I saw in traffic this morning . . . .what did you see?

Also, I saw 2 people poking their noses. I guess you gotta do what ya gotta do

I hardly ever get stuck in traffic, as I have interesting working hours, so I almost always drive oustide the peak hours.

But when I drove on the highway sundaymorning, I was driving on the right lane (road of 3lanes); when I noticed far away on the upmost left lane, some dark spot, moving

I approached it at 130km/h, when I noticed on the left lane, mother duck with about 10 little duckies ...

They were trying to get of the highway, but they could not leave to the left, as there was a concrete wall that separates the 2 driving lanes, but everytime a car passed by on the right lane, they got scared and moved back to the left.

I doubt that they made it to the side safe

I regularly see people get in yelling disputes. I one time even saw these two idiots start fist fighting. I just sat and laughed as they were arrested shortly after. Good ole' Atlanta.

I was on my way to the US Open a long time ago. Probably about 11 years ago and we were sitting in traffic for a long time. Police cars and ambulances were driving on the shoulder of the road with their sirens on and we all thought "Oh great! A car accident"
It wasn't. A taxi cab driver cut someone off. Apparently he cut off the wrong person and got shot in the head for it.
I got to see the window of the cab and I wont get graphic but it wasn't pretty.

I remember watching people get out of their cars and run for the woods to go and relieve themselves during the gridlock ice of 2005 in raleigh, nc.... one of which fell and busted his butt on the pavement... it was comedy relief at the 11th hour (no, seriously, i was stuck in traffic for nearly 15 hours going home that day).

WOAH!! That's kinda cool . . . oh wait no I mean sad That happened out here in Vegas a year ago. A women was mistaken for a drug dealer at 4 in the morning and was shot while driving on one of our main highways.

As for passing accidents, and I am TOTALLY against rubber neckin but I passed one a few months back and they had a body covered with a sheet.

About 15 years ago I was driving down the highway near Dallas when I spotted a couple in a small car in front of me-- their body language told me they were obviously arguing with each other. Then I saw him reach over and punch her three or four times. He was swerving all over the road while he hit her. This wasn't just a swipe or a slap but real close-fisted punches. I had to move to the other lane so he wouldn't hit my car. In my mirror I saw him finally pull over to the side of the road, but he was still swinging at her.

I still to this day feel horrible that I didn't get a license plate number and call the police; that's probably why I still remember it so well after all this time. That poor girl.
