This happens in balkans/croatia.

A golf 2 was driving in front of me downhill around 70-80km/h before a curve. Enden up going off road and doing 4 rolls until back on tires. The driver just went out and check if the car was drivable. The next moment I see him just driving off like nothing ever happened.

While all thay was happenning I pulled over meaning to check whether the driver was fine, but seeing him coming out checking the car and just driving off the very next moment left me thinking “Eh, just another day in the balkans”.

Kind of a car accident:

I was on a smoke break on my job as a chef at an imitation Waffle House one day and I saw a police officer take his cruiser into one of those automatic drive-through car washes.

The spinny brush thing ripped the antennas off the top of the car and turned them into a flail rotating at 40 RPM.

His car looked like it had been attacked by an angry jackhammer by the time he jumped the curb and drove it out of the car wash.

It smashed out the back windshield completely, left dents all the way across the hood and trunk, and had sprayed soapy water into the cab of the car.

I heard not too much later that that police officer no longer worked for the city.

He was supposed to take it to that car wash but he was also supposed to use the little jet-powered sprayer to hand wash the car and him choosing to be lazy destroyed a police car with less than 10,000 miles on the odometer.

Yeah there’s a bunch of companies that duplicate The Waffle House model like huddle House and Waffle King and places like that. I’ve worked at a bunch of them but this one was a Waffle King.

I was coming around a bend on a really wide, “gentle“ road behind a business park. It had no cars parked on the street and was wide open with little traffic.

Come around the corner and see, right in the middle of the road, a driving school car flipped on its roof. No other cars around, no hazards. Just a perfectly placed car on its head, even pointed down the road as though some movie prop guys had installed it.

Standing beside it was a very bored and sad looking cop directing traffic. I think he was tired of every passing car taking a picture as they drove by.

A Toyota embedded, like a javelin, 6 feet off the ground in the side of an abandoned building.

They made the first 90° turn of a dog-leg, but missed the second and, with the help of a ditch, launched into the air at the building.

I pulled up to a crossroad, stopped at the stop sign, and waited for the 2 vehicles on the main road to pass. Another car pulled up across from me and came to a complete stop at their stop sign, they waited for a moment, then started to go. They looked again, saw the other vehicles coming, stopped (not yet in the main road), then started to proceed again. They stopped again (this time in the main road). They started to go again and got hit by the first vehicle on the main road. The next vehicle on the main road was an ambulance who saw the whole thing and stopped.

Honestly not sure why you would stop at a sign, see traffic coming then go and stop multiple times if you weren’t on something or trying for some fraud.
