As a followup to this post, here are two more bits of automotive dumbassery that I’ve recently seen and photographed. I am rarely the passenger in a car; almost always the driver. So I suspect that the reason why I’ve seen these examples recently is because I am usually too busy trying to *avoid* being a dumbass to really note the dumbasses around me. I suspect that if I was more cognizant of just how stupid/insane/drunk the drivers around me really were, I’d just stay the hell at home much more often.

The answer is “C” for “Crash”
Saw this Very Special Driver Friday, north of Ogden, Utah. He’s taken the “reading while driving” gag to a whole new level: apparently he’s writing while driving. Appears to be marking up a legal document or some such, or taking a test.
Extra credit: note the wheelchair in the back of the car. Hmmm. Perhaps he’s filling out the medical paperwork describing the last crash he was in, that put him in the chair?

That’s not how you park the frakkin’ thing
Saw this mishap early today in Rexburg, Idaho. Looks like someone rented a Budget rent-a-truck, and didn’t pay adequate attention when the paperwork said “This truck is 13 feet tall. Don’t try to drive under structures 12 feet tall. You’ll fail, and scare the crap out of the reception clerk at the Comfort Inn.”
Was it a case of booze? Drowziness? Dumbth? Don’t know. But I do know that later in the day, the portico had been removed, leaving only the columns, and making the Comfort Inn look reasonably respectable. However, this being Sunday, the involvement of heavy construction equipment to take care of this little problem almost certainly meant that *somebody* is going to take it in the shorts when it comes time to pay the overtime and repair bills.
