Just curious to hear some other people's stories as to things they've done/do, and I figure SP's are pretty likely to be the ones to do...um, "abnormal" things.
I'll start off with some of my own:
1. Traffic in my area backs up about 15-20 minutes on this one main road, there happens to be an old path (was removed from maps in the 60s)/utility line that runs more directly, and you technically aren't supposed to drive on.... It's a combination of rutted gravel, and dirt, and has a river crossing (but the river only 5 or 6 inches deep unless there's been a big storm). Anyway, *someone* cut the chains blocking access to it, and now I sleep 20 minutes later in the morning before school. People always look shocked to see a Mazda Tribute popping out of the woods spitting gravel and dripping water.
2. A multi-car accident is happening in front of me on the highway, in a snowstorm. Instead of hitting the brakes, I accelerate it, shocking (and scaring to death) my girlfriend. The reasoning? I saw where a gap was going to be in the sliding/crashing cars (when cars have no grip, and you spend far too long a day in a physics class, you eventually learn how stuff moves), and wanted to make sure I'd make it through. If I braked, I figured I'd just get hit because people were following too closely.
3. Not exactly driving, but hey...while riding a bike, going about 30 miles an hour down a big hill, the rear brake fails. (at the bottom of said hill is a 4 lane highway). I see a driveway I can go down and onto a lawn......then nail the front brake, and flip the bike, somehow rolling with just a cut on my arm, as the bike proceeds to continue flipping until it hits a tree at the edge of the lawn.
