Let's hear the stories!!!
I was on LBJ once and this woman (DRIVER) hauls off and sucker punches the guy in the passenger seat. He has none of that and belts her a goodone and she returns. They had one hell of a fight over the course of a mile.
I have seen women driving topless, or changing clothes while driving. [:D]
A guy pulled a pistol on me and a friend on our way back to her place after getting home from Vegas. That was an awkward moment, I look in my rearview and he raises up a revolver.
My uncle was a long haul truck driver, he said he saw a guy giving his tool a really really good rub down will driving a mustang convertible. [xx(]

A woman flashed me as the car she was riding in sped past... I put on my glasses and floored it. Ended up getting her phone number, window to window, at super-high (ok, maybe around 70mph) speed.
Wednesday I went through Rockwall and about the time I hit Dallas, in heavy, heavy traffic, I saw two motorcycle cops riding side by side at 65 mph. their handlebars looked like they were 18 inches apart.
You must be referring to I-30, which I'm fairly familiar with.
IIRC the speed limt is only 60 mph west of Rockwall. [:D]

Yes it was I-30. Seeems like the speed limit may have been 60, and maybe the motor cops were doing 60. Westbound traffic was traveling about 65. I thought that those guys must have been riding together for years, but maybe they're just that good.
He has driven for Mobil Oil and Nalco Chem. for the past 30 years.THEIR ARE SOME REALLY COOL SHOTS!!!
2. Almost hit an Emu (a local farm raises them) on my way to work one morning. When I stopped at a nearby gas station to alert a cop, I couldn't think of the bird's name. I told the cop that there was a six foot bird in the midlle of the hwy. He must have thought that I was drunk because he followed me for two miles when I left the station.
3. I was in Alabama one time on I-20 just east of Birmingham. I came up behind a car that had three objects in the back window: a roll of toilet paper, a box of Tide laundry detergent, and another roll of TP. The message was: Roll, Tide, Roll! Funny!
Saw a frozen lake today.
Where is that at? It looks exactly like Deep Creek Lake, a couple miles from here.
i was following several cars, when all of a sudden i saw money fly out the back window of the car in front of me. i hit the brakes, opened the door and grabbed the two bills that came from the car. in doing so i heard tires squeeling several cars back. i never looked back, just sped away. all for two $1. bills
Up in Washington State Was on a Secondary road from Eastern to western Oregon. This was not a Main road every body used and it cut hours off the time from Yakima to Fort Lewis. There is one part that Had a road Sign that said Flying Rocks. Sign showed them not falling but shooting to the side.
I pulled right into the emergency lane, grabbed my case of flares and starting popping them and throwing them in most any direction as I ran up the shoulder. I was a good quarter mile past them by then, but figured what the heck, the flares really can't hurt anything. I guess that mattress was really important to them. I expected a multi car pileup at any moment and chickened out and headed back to the truck to get out of the danger zone. I never did see anything in the newspaper about it, I guess they all made it out alive.
I was following a bus and look up to see a nice pair of naked boobs pressed against the rear window. I eventually looked up and directly into the face of one of my daughters high school girlfriends. She covered her face with her T shirt (to late). She is a grown woman now and I still say nice to see you again, every time we cross paths and smile, she is really fair skinned and blushes nicely. [:D]
saw a blonde in a black corvette spin out across all lanes on popular street bridge, the big bridge going over the mississippi, downtown stl
guy driving with his brakes on fire
flashed boobies, mooned butts by an entire bus, head bobbing up and down on a driver
was about 300 yards behind an suv on hwy 70 near north stl. guy shoots over all lanes, hit the medium wall, bounced off, spun back across, a baggie pants got out and started running
saw a girl once walking down the street, dressed appropriately like a hooker on tv, without breaking stride she had green projectile vomit, 2x, kept on walking like nothing happened
i posted the video of me almost getting creamed on a bridge by a guy doing 90mph into on coming traffic during a police chase, it was filmed by a news helicopter, {posted full vid here}
helped rescue a guy the rolled his tractor trailer on an off ramp, carrying a load of betty crocker cake mix and brownies all over the place, he was trapped inside, diesel was pouring out, soon as rescue, law and media showed up i left, didnt feel i needed recognition or an inquiry
drove up on a few corpse before, closest one was a guy that got hit by multiple cars on a major interstate hwy walking down the shoulder, another was ejected from a roll over {wear your seat belts}
more than once while in front of me driving the hood of a car pop up, bending it over the windshield, saw a guy attempt to open a convertible top at 70mph, what looked to be a brand new car
been passed by a semi, in a snow and in a rain storm with no more than 20 yards of visibility on a no passing lane more than once
thats just off the top of my head, 100k miles a year for 9 years, your going to see allot
I was heading west into Atlanta on I-20 one night around 2:00 AM. I was still a ways out - I remember just having passed the Crawfordville exit. Topped a hill, and saw a man & woman standing on the side of the highway with their thumbs out, completely nude.
did you give them a ride[?]
Welcome to Oregon Please don't stay.
Yeah, a guy on a bike with a T/C muzzleloader on a rack on his handlebars.
Oh yeah I saw this billboard last fall. Not my pic, but I did see the sign. South Bend pubic schools.

I'm thinking this is going to be ugly. Suddenly a Cessna comes low over my truck and proceeds to land on the freeway a couple of miles in front of me. I see two guys jump out and head into the desert going to help. A California Highway Patrol Cessna doing speed checks. I always wondered if those guys got a commendation or an * chewing or both.
down in dallas I'd see an overturned car once a year. not like they're bad drivers, it's just that in the middle of 3 million people you see some stuff. that place is an automotive mosh pit. worst one of those, was on the way to work about 11pm there was an overturned car in the middle of the street and 2 cases worth of beer smashed all over the place. nobody around.
was going to work in the am, stop-n-go traffic, all of a sudden one car comes up trying to cut between lanes, only gets so far to the semi in front of me before he had to stop, then he jumped out and started running, ducked under the semi and was going out the other side when 3 cops tackled him. immediately started punching the crap out of him although he didn't resist. cuffed him and took him away. must have been fleeing.
going thru oklahoma I saw a semi way off the side of the road on fire. fire trucks just getting on the scene and putting it out. right, well 5 days later I was returning and there it was, the trailer was a burned out heap of molten aluminum, and still smoldering so bad it looked like it was going to catch on fire again! must have been one hell of a fire.
probably the most bizarre, a long time ago I was walking thru a golf course to get somewhere. in the middle of the night. there was some kind of canal thing dug into the ground with tie walls on either side so people can walk under it while other people walk over it. plenty big for golf carts. there was smoke coming up from it. you guessed it. well I sure as hell wouldn't have guessed it. as I got closer I saw there was a camaro flipped upside down in it, with smoke coming off it. in the middle of a frikkin' golf course. I don't know what that dude was thinking but he wasn't around to ask him. I bet he never saw one of those canal things in a golf course before.
the motorcycle accidents on the cruisin strip were more interesting. at one spot there was almost a 90-degree turn (this is a street in town) dude was flying thru the turn, too fast to make the turn, went off right into the front yard of a church, his front tire didn't want to go up the steps, so he was horizontal and his bike was vertical 10 feet later when they both plowed into the church doors.
or the time these 3 dudes were cruising down the strip on their bikes in staggered formation, minding their own business, and here comes this nerd that I saw before that I know doesn't know how to ride a motorcycle. he thought he would hot dog it and zoom right through the middle of them. wrong. he nailed them like bowling pins and I watched all 8 items (4 dudes and 4 bikes) sliding down the street right past me sparks and all. other crowd in the other parking lot handled it, they were taken away in an ambulance. it was funny because 2 weeks later the 3 dudes came walking around in crutches, arm and leg casts etc. asking if anybody seen that guy lately. I laugh every time I remember that.
or the time some dude was walking down that same stretch of street, and these other dudes who hated him drove by in a van real close so the passenger could lean out the window just holding his fist out so it punches him in the back of the head when they drive by. knocked the dude over and from what I heard broke the passenger's hand too. fun times, fun times. [:D]
In bold, sounds like the guy realized too late that he was going too fast to make the turn, and then target fixated on the church doors. if he would've continued looking through the corner to his exit point, he would have merely low-sided.
Once I say a p/u with a matress on the bedrails with a 6-8 yr old black child on top of it. Of course this seems like no big deal, exceot it was on LBJ (635) the major loop around dallas and he was doing 60. To this day, I have no idea what kept that kid from dying.
I have been flashed while working on open roads, nothing to report there, always fat ugly girls who have nothing better to do.
I have seen not 1 but 2 ghetto cars with at least 22" rims catch air and spin into barrier walls destroying the cars.
I passed a chevy x cab pu on the side of the road once and it was very obvious she was on top.
one night after a concert or hockey game stopped at dennys for some late eats, walking up to the door, girl in car pops up suddenly and wipes her mouth. Hell if she had stayed put never thought a thing about it.
Tried to find a Photo. But road signs at the Calif Border early 80's an d for sure in the 70's.
Welcome to Oregon Please don't stay.
In the old days, Greenville, Tx sign (billboard) read Home to the blackest dirt and the whitest people! I have to admit it was before my time, I didn't see it, but the old timers use to talk about it.
Frisco, Tx On St Hwy 289 is a water tank that use to read Frisco *. Surprised me, it wasn't painted over until 2005. Of course the local HS football team are the *'s.
