Top 7 Dumbest Car Accident Videos

Whether due to absent-mindedness or other circumstances (utter stupidity, for example), some people have gotten into car accidents that make the rest of us very concerned about driving anywhere near other people. Go Insurance Rates takes a look at some hilarious examples of people getting into accidents that were easily avoidable.

1. Guy Leaves Car – Car Leaves Guy – World Laughs.

Practically everyone has gotten flustered by the challenge of a difficult reach from the car door, but as any driver’s training class will tell you, it’s critical to think clearly at all times. If you don’t, you can do things like, oh, say, forget to put your car in park when you get out of it. Gulp.

2. Oil Change or Brain Change?

It’s a good idea to know what’s around you when you’re driving, especially what’s right in front of you. Some people tend to learn lessons the hard way, however. Regardless, if you’re intimidated by a driving decision, or aren’t really sure about how to proceed, it can’t hurt to ask for help. You might be a little embarrassed, but that embarrassment will be nothing compared to a big, fat, totally self-inflicted car repair bill.

3. Parking Lot Mayhem

A seemingly sober woman gets into her car in a spacious parking lot – and promptly begins to bang into almost every car in it. It’s not clear why the first bang-up (and the car insurance nightmare that was sure to follow) didn’t put the brakes on her spree, but maybe she found the answer in the driver’s training class we pray she enrolled in after.

4. Ticket Booth Terror

A guy pulls up to an automated gate but his arm can’t reach the ticket dispenser. He then decides to drive closer. This decision is one he’s going to regret for a very, very long time. Here’s hoping he had the right car insurance to deal with such a brutal, self-inflicted hit to his bank account (not to mention his self-esteem).

5. When Bad Ideas Attack

A young man attempts to drive his car up a very steep angle and it doesn’t work. At all. You can blame it on youth, but sympathy has definite limits.

6. Beware Evil Clowns

An attention-starved clown (is there any other kind?) enters traffic and distracts a driver, causing an accident. In a perfect world the clown would be stripped of his wig and sent to clown prison for life, but when it comes to driving, everyone needs to keep their eyes on the road in order to avoid fender-benders like this one.

7. Can Cold Weather Freeze Your Common Sense?

A very sobering look at icy conditions causing drivers to lose control. Given the circumstances the first driver can be forgiven, but as for the other drivers who then get into their cars after knowing the roads are incredibly dangerous…let’s hope they got some smarts for Christmas.

While it’s fun to laugh at people who make such silly mistakes, accidents can and do happen daily. Make sure you’re practicing safe driving and protect yourself from horrible drivers with a quality auto insurance policy.
