Drove from Caldicot, North Wales back up to the North East today and saw this:

On the M5, they had righted the lorry when i passed and it was a mess.

On the M1 north bound I saw a Golf that had been hit right on the very right hand corner which had pushed the offside wheel forward so it looked like it had rear wheel steering, no other vehicle was around which seemed a bit weird.

Further up the road on the southbound carriageway was a Citroen (I think) with exactly the same damage, hit to the off side rear pushing the rear wheel forward, this time with an ambulance attending but no culprit vehicle to be seen.

No Bank Holiday friday is complete until you see a Caravan on it's side, this was near Whetherby services on the A1. Fiat Stilo still attached, back end suspended in mid air with two bemused looking caravaners standing near by.

Many years ago in our Teens, one late evening a Lady off our street stood by the side of the road, (country lane) into the Village. She was Crying, we recognised her so stopped. She informed us her Boyfriend had thrown her False Teeth over the hedge into a field. They must have been into their 50s then, often wondered why he did it, many thoughts passed through our minds :-)

A Calibra rear bumper in the outside lane of the A43 a couple of miles before Bicester. Used to go to a big Vauxhall owners (VBOA) annual meet every year (doubt I'd be welcome this year in a Skoda ) at Billing Aquadrome. Our club stand used to be opposite 'ClubCalibra' so I knew the car in question. Coming back one year some AMG Merc came hurtling past,swiftly followed by this Calibra. A few miles down the road and suddenly there is this bloody bumper just sat there in the middle of the lane, about a mile further and this Calibra is in a layby with the owner scratching his head, looking at the rear of his car wondering where his bumper is.

M27 tonight Eastbound saw a Tailgate on the hard shoulder with "Toyota" written on.Presumably come off a Hi-Lux.

On the autobahn driving through a pile of clothes with 140, just after passing a top of a roofbox left to me..........

I saw an C63 AMG on its roof, without any wheels on it. In its defence, it was a shady neighbourhood....

Got a new one. Today coming back from a shopping trip to Southampton, about a mile before Dorchester (on the Puddletown bypass) there were 4 deer literally stood on the edge of the road,happily eating the grass verge. They didn't take a blind bit of notice of the cars going past.

Camping trip into northwales

Hey kids look out of the window.... Errr maybe forget that... A stoat ripping the head off a rat in a puddle! One of the kids highlights

My car yesterday after I traded it in. It felt very, very wrong to leave it at the side of the road and drive off in something else.

I once ended up in a sizeable queue in Glastonbury because a peacock had parked itself in the middle of the road and refused to move.

Somewhere in the Scottish borders at some early hour of the morning, a car on its roof on a roundabout, and nobody around.

A perch, beside a busy road near Nottingham.

Not a strange thing but I used to see lots of bottles of pee on the way to the Dartford tunnel.

I wonder why???

I once saw Pacman being chased down the road by one of his enemies, that was pretty random.

Tonight

A fat bloke in shorts and a T-shirt jogging down the side of the road in BARE FEET.

WTF??

Diesel. 99.9p litre. Years ago IIRC.

No one believed me though.

Dead camels, horses and kangaroos on the Stuart highway from Alice springs.....was very disconcerting driving round roadkill nearly as big as the campervan we were in......the result of the night travelling massive road trains which I stood and watched one evening from the safety of the Campsite at Erldunda! Awesome sight!

2 prostitutes sat on a sofa touting for business in Naples, no word of a lie!

i didn't stop, they couldn't even be bothered to stand afterall!

A car nose down and a caravan nose up still hitched - not much damage to either - on the M6.

I once saw a caravan abandoned on a pavement, jammed solidly between a bridge parapet and a lamp post.

A guy squatting on the side of the dual carriageway in Egypt taking a big 5hit. Trousers round his ankles and not a care in the world.

I went for a little drive Friday night and there was a "face" from a henry hoover on the side of the road. Seen a couple of lorries completely on fire on the M25.

Witnessed a BMW stack it into the central reservation of the M20, which was quite bemusing as it was a straight bit of road. Business type man got out but was ok.

And I had a black panther run down the road in front of me!

On the way down to London last night I saw a hare ambling along the hard shoulder of the A1M near Peterborough, right next to the traffic just trotting along. Mind you, I have seen them out and about in the country lanes and they are totally oblivious to traffic, I've had to stop and drive slowly round them before because they're just milling about.

A deer just about to jump across the road in Macclesfield Forest. It did - right over my car. Phew.

On M6 decades ago, a lorry wheel rolling along; slightly lagging behind a weaving artic.

Coming over a blind crest on the M6 to see a beige Cortina slowly orbitting on its roof, with fuel spilling out of the filler cap.

I suppose the above are as much frightening as strange!

A perch, beside a busy road near Nottingham.

Of the fish variety or a for a bird cage?

Finding a broken down 4 x 4 with a lone female driver, found out the hard way her car was diesel not petrol!!!!!!!!

Only Mrs Rooney!!!!!!

one of those big wooden picnic tables... being dragged down the hard shoulder of the M6 by 4 big blokes.
