Cars"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

Where I grew upon Saturday and Sunday mornings it was fairly usual to find one or two cars on their roof in a field or in a ditch at an odd angle, bereft of passengers.
Without fail there would always be a packet of chewing gum or a scattering of audio cassette tapes in / around / near the vehicle. To this day I always associate tapes and chewing gum with pissed-up driving.
On a more negative note I've also seen some fairly horrific accidents in that locale as well. One that sticks in my mind was a head on collision which propelled one (big, heavy, german) vehicle some distance up a hillside. Given that one or both cars were apparently approaching 100 or so when they hit, there wasn't much left that you could identify as having been a vehicle (or person).
Cars, eh? A laugh a minute!
