Anyone ever had a really silly moment behind the wheel?

What I mean is, has anyone ever done something behind the wheel that is really really silly/dangerous and then thought shittttt what the hell happened there!?!

Basically I was driving through Ipswich earlier this evening after I'd been to see a mate, was waiting at a set of lights at a massive crossroads and when I pulled off (on auto-pilot as its a journey I've done 1,000,000 times) for reason I do not know I turned too early and found myself driving up a double lane road the wrong way!!! Luckily there was nothing coming (if there was I probably would'nt have made the mistake) but it was certainly the quickest I've ever turned any car around! Just a lapse of concentration momentarily, on a road I know like the back of my hand, won't be doing again in a hurry phewww!

Wondered if anyone else has any funny stories if they're brave enough to admit it!

Before anyone slates me, I was'nt driving fast at all, and I was'nt under the influence! Just a pure weird mistake.

lol that is quite funny.

Nothing like yours, but I put my foot down in 2nd gear coming off a roundabout in the pissing rain in the MR2. As you can probably imagine, the rear end went wild. Luckily I managed to hold it. It only then just clicked that I wasnt in a FWD car anymore lol. I felt a right d!ck.

i did something abit silly the other day, booted it down a country lane came to a left hand medium bend and followed it round, don't know why i touched the brakes (but i did) threw the whole car out of proportion and the back end flew out and then managed to get it back, must have been doing about 65 when it stepped out.

i knew what id done wrong but you will always have those little happenings!

Glad I'm not the only one to have done it haha!

Back end stepping out at 65 lol bet your backside twitched a little! :p

Things like the oil cap can be very easily done! I've very nearly done the same with my radiator cap before, but luckily I did remember to put it back on. Going back a few years I had a mate who owned a blue nova (it was actually clean as fook!) but one day after changing the front pads, he put the wheels back on and just nipped up the wheel nuts so that he could lower the car back down, but he then forgot to tighten them up properly! You can guess what happened! .......................

Did you not have a moment in your 106 that seen you facing the wrong way in the middle of a roundabout!? :drive:

Coming back from T in the park one year we stopped at macdonalds and it was a proper hot summers day, everyone in the car had hardly any clothes on (my kinda party!) still a bit lean from the weekend, everyone in the car fucking around blasting tunes and what not.
I tried to pull out a junction using the small amount of my brain that was left in tact, im unsure what actually happened but i mounted a 12" kerb pulling it right out the ground and landed in a bit wasteground :homer:
Worst part was it was kind of in slow motion and just as it was about to impact i heard my mate from the back, "what the fuck are you doing!?"
It was too late.
Man i sometimes wonder how i ever made it home from there :slap:

I haven't yet, but when i was in the car with my father in-law, we were talking, i guessed that he wasn't paying attention. and drove thought a red light (was late and dark) and in mid conversation he said, "that was a red light wasn't it, BOLLOCKS!" and carried on with what he was saying. Was quite funny :)
