Idiots On Board

As a Fort Worth car crash attorney, I’ve heard about a lot of dumb things that have caused driver to get into a wreck, but one idiot really blew my mind recently… A friend of mine, Truett Killian, saw a man riding a motorcycle with his pet dog on his lap and sent me a photo (see exhibit D). I couldnʼt believe it. Driving in a car with your pet roaming around loose is dangerous enough – but on a bike? He must be crazy.

Anyway, the image inspired me to see if I could find any other examples of dumb motorists embarrassing themselves attempting brainless feats. Needless to say there were quite a few, and Iʼve published the best (or rather the worst) here. Some are incredibly concerning due to how dangerous they are, but in every case they are just plain stupid, stupid, stupid… I hope theyʼll give you a chuckle, but also that theyʼll serve as a reminder to pay attention to other drivers on the roads, because you never know what kind of fools are driving around. Send us an email to let us know which one of these motorists is the biggest idiot and we’ll put all the entries into a hat, then draw one at random to win a $50 gas card. You must be a North Texas resident to enter.
