What's the Stupidest Thing You've Done In a Car?

Poor old George Michael is at it again. And by "it", I mean something that nobody ever does. On Monday night, he reportedly fell out of the passenger side of his Range Rover as it hurtled down the M1 at 70mph. That brings George's tally up to eight vehicular incidents during his career, including the time he crashed into that Snappy Snaps in Hampstead.

Luckily, he somehow managed to escape his latest (pretty awful sounding) debacle with just some minor scrapes and a dent to his pride. That got me thinking about all the other stupid shit people get up to in cars, so I thought I'd go and ask some of them about it. London, what's the stupidest thing you've done in a car?

Ken, caretaker: I flipped my car upside down in Whitehall.

VICE: What was the occasion?
Just nighttime. Just turning around. Just coming through Parliament Square and I flipped over.

OK.

Kevin (left) and Liz.

Liz, buyer: Once, when my friend was driving down the motorway, I just needed to chuck something away, so I opened the door as we were moving. I don’t drive, so I didn’t realise that’s not allowed.

You didn't know not to open a car door on a motorway because you don't drive? 
Yeah. My best mate was driving, so just screamed, “For fuck’s sake! Shut the door!”

Alright.
Kevin, runs a bar: That reminds me of a mate of mine who was feeling really sick in his mum's car when he was a kid, so he leant out the window to be sick and fell out. It took two miles before she realised he’d gone missing. She had to drive back and find him, and he was just lying in a heap by the side of the road, covered in sick.

How old was he?
About ten.
Liz: That’s awful.
Kevin: Yeah, good parenting.

Rosie, 28, just arrived from Australia: Just generally screaming at other cars, usually. Usually at the car next door.

What kind of thing do you generally say?
I’m drunk half the time, so I don’t really remember. I usually just ask them how their night’s going.

Oh, that's nice.

Angela, student: Not really anything that stupid, to be honest. The most interesting thing I did in the car was sleep in there during a festival. It was in Italy – it’s a really old fashioned festival.

Were you in a very old fashioned car?
Not really. It’s sort of a military festival.

So you were in a tank?
Yeah. It’s a very traditional festival that they do all over Italy.

Theresa, works at Pret: Someone I know was in Africa. They parked the car outside and while the car was stopped a massive python climbed inside the engine. When they started to drive again, it just came out.

It just leapt out and attacked them?
Yeah, they had no idea what to do.
