Title says it all really, what's some of the stupidest things you've done while driving, they don't have to have led to accidents but near-accidents will do.
I mentioned in the speedbump thread that I managed to break the engine mount on my mother's car by completely missing the existence of a speedbump because I was stuffing around with the radio. I didn't know about it until the front end went :crunch:
I thought of this because I almost pranged my friend's car yesterday. He asked me to park it while he dashed into some shops to get whatever, and I again proved how unused I am to RWD cars (it was a Commodore). I wrenched the steering wheel to get into a tight space like I'm used to doing with the Pug, but the car, of course, turned much more sharply than I expected. I nearly smacked straight into the rear bumper of the car next to the space :lol:
Thankfully I'm yet to have an accident so-to-speak, but I'm sure some of you here have come off worse from moments of sheer driving stupidity. Let's hear 'em.
