Default Strange Things Seen on the Road

We've all seen some strange things while driving. Some weird stuff I've seen include:

A car overheating with steam pouring out of the hood and the driver continuing to drive like that's normal.

An axle working its way out of the tube and the truck dropping on its frame and the tires bouncing down the road.

A tall load of hay bales falling off a trailer.

A cattle trailer streaming clumps of crap behind it on the highway onto trailing cars.

A dog inside a towed vehicle.

The google maps car. Twice in different states on the same trip.

A truck being transported sitting across the bed of another truck.

Jeep drivers and passengers dangling various appendages outside of the vehicle at highway speeds.

What are some weird/dangerous/dumb things you've seen?

The front forks from a front end loader loose in the back of a pickup truck. When the light turned red, he punched it and the forks slid right out the back of the tail gate! Funny for me, stupid of him!

The driver's side front tire of an old POS truck coming off while it's going 70mph on the interstate. The tire crossed a broad grassy median and shattered the front end of a Camry traveling in the opposite direction.

two weeks ago I watched a plumbing van lose its back wheel. van became a sparkler while the wheel continued down the highway into the woods. few moths ago watched a focus spew all its coolant out of the exhaust, driver never noticed. he was making quite the cloud lmao

Back in March, my daughter and I were going to the grocery store when I passed a large truck hauling oranges. As we passed him, I noticed that one of the inside tires on one of the axles was completely flat and flopping around! He was slowing down to pull over, I guess to check it. Less than 10 minutes later, he passed us IN THE RIGHT LANE, doing about 80 mph and that damn tire was flopping all over the place. He was even losing some oranges out of the trailer on it. Moron!
