I was driving from Bakersfield to LA and pulled off the highway to get some gas. It was one of those exit ramps that goes down lower than the highway. I’m sitting at the light waiting to turn left and go under the highway, when a car comes flying off the highway upside down. It is airborne and goes right over top of my car. It hits the ground, slides until it hits the other side of the road and somehow rolls back onto its wheels. It then tries to take off but just crashes into fence and stops. A few moments later a parade of police cars came hauling ass down the exit ramp. I just drove straight back onto the highway and stopped at the next gas station.
A BMW using it’s signal lights.
Tell me they were at least still going 15 miles over the speed limit.
As a BMW driver, I call bullshit
I saw it too though.
BMW driver clearly had their left turn signal on. For like 8 miles. And then came to a near stop on a green to make a right-hand turn.
Not on the highway, but on a backroad a few weeks back…
I drove on a small back road in the rural parts between Stockholm and Norrtälje in Sweden, one of the many twisty turny roads going through forrests and between farms all across Uppland. (If you are ever in Stockholm during summer, with access to a car and have time to spare, I can absolutely recommend an evening drive on the backroads)
Anyway, as I drove through the bright summer evening, I approached a field where a older man and a dog was watching out intently toward the field, my car was in electric mode so it was quiet, as I drove past I looked out on the sunset lit field, and saw a cat, it was a big cat, but a cat…
I didn’t think much about it but 15 sec later it hit me…
There is only one kind of cat that big in Sweden, a Lynx!
The cat I saw had the same color and everything!
Sadly there was no place to stop and turn around or park, and I didn’t have my camera with my awesome super telezoom (100-400mm) with me so I could only keep driving.
Lynx’s are very shy but they still live in the area, they are my favourite big cat animal, despite have a stupid looking tail.
Then two fridays ago, I was driving very late on another back road, I took it extra slow and careful since I had recently got a (deserved) speeding ticket, but still only saw a blur of the badger that decided to cross the road just infront of my car, busted my bumper but little else…
That’s very cool!
i was followed by what i assume was a police helicopter coming out of las vegas. it was the middle of the night, i was driving straight from ca to il in a very shitty 70s toyota. they had their giant spotlight on me but i never stopped, and no squad made any attempt to contact me. eventually they just peeled away and disappeared.
