Best of r\/IdiotsInCars: Most ridiculous driving fails caught on camera Reddit: u\/kevinowdziejDashcams, smartphones, and CCTV never fail to provide quality entertainment at other people\u2019s expense. While the internet is full of videos showing that not everyone is the sharpest tack in the box, we\u2019ve rounded up five of the best for your entertainment. Reddit bills itself as \u201cThe front page of the internet\u201d and it certainly delivers. With everything from funny cat videos to breaking news and just about anything else you can think of; Reddit can be somewhat of a maze to try and navigate. Thankfully, there\u2019s an entire subreddit dedicated to people caught on camera doing silly things while driving or working on their car. Since this is such a jam-packed subreddit, here\u2019s five highlights to start you off on your Reddit journey. 5. Who needs ratchet straps? \u201cIf it works, it isn\u2019t stupid\u201d is an unwritten law that many on Reddit seem to live by, but this method of securing a load falls firmly into the \u2018stupid\u2019 category. Foregoing ropes and ratchet straps for sheer manpower and willing, the driver of this pickup seen by u\/BoomerJ3T has elected a willing mate to hold down their load of a motorbike and what appears to be a truck tire. Whether this was a desperate last-ditch attempt at rescuing the biker or just an act of pure laziness, it definitely deserves its place on our list. 4. Would they call AAAA? Or AAAAAA? What happens when the rescuers need rescuing? Well, it seems they just call a colleague. Imagine the embarrassment of having to be saved by the very service you work for while attending a call out for work. Oh dear. This photo posted by u\/Kanamuna24 shows a member of AAA rescuing one of their own after the attendant managed to lock their keys in the van. What makes it even funnier is that the one that locked themselves out the van was actually attending an incident involving the exact same situation; Now that\u2019s a bad day at the office. 3. Trucks can\u2019t swim While it\u2019s well-known that trucks are indeed significantly more useful off-road than normal cars, that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re totally undefeatable, as this video posted by u\/schneller_Fuchs proves. Unfortunately, it seems the driver of this truck didn\u2019t get the memo and assumes that his big truck is actually part-boat, attempting to cross what appears to be a river as if it were a mere puddle. Thankfully everyone is able to scramble to safety after the river begins to flood the truck completely, but this was an incredibly stupid way to risk his family and lose his truck at the same time. 2. That\u2019s one way of beating the heat\u2026 Showcasing American ingenuity at it\u2019s best, this video posted by u\/kevinowdziej will give truck owners all sorts of ideas. Seemingly trying to keep cool, the owners of this truck have converted the bed into a mobile pool. By lining the bed with what appears to be a tarpaulin and filling it with water, they\u2019ve created a rudimentary pool on wheels.

Unfortunately, they did the next best thing to parking it \u2013 they took it for a McDonald\u2019s drive-through. While it seems to have survived the trip to the restaurant intact, a sudden stop after pulling away from the window results in a tidal wave of water and predictable hilarity. Clearly these pool-dwellers will stick to conventional paddling pools next time. 1. Abandon Car! Sometimes, words cannot quite describe the level of absolute stupidity seen on the internet. This clip, posted by u\/mr_rosh is a perfect example of that level of stupidity. The driver of this car appears to swerve, brake check the car behind, and then casually abandon the car while it is still rolling. The driver then simply walks down the central reservation on her phone in complete serenity, as if ditching her moving car is somehow an everyday occurrence. Unfortunately, her stupidity didn\u2019t only affect her. The car was clearly ditched while still in \u2018drive\u2019 and proceeds to veer across both sides of the carriageway, striking an oncoming vehicle before the clip cuts out. Safe to say, this driver wins the title of \u2018biggest idiot\u2019 on this subreddit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
