Took my car to 210kph (130mph), proceeded to go off road a bit, fishtailed, hit the ditch and rolled it a bunch of times (not sure how fast when I crashed, may have been a bit drunk). Walked away completely fine, cept for a bit of a sore neck.

That was my first and last time driving drunk, and it was in the middle of the prairies at 3am, no people to hurt anywhere near me.

You live you learn I guess, even if living is being a monumental idiot.


Going over 120 up a hill coming home one night with my mom in the car, a tumble weed rolls across the road. I'm an inexperienced driver so my first reaction was to swerve, in doing this I accidentally cut off a truck who had to go into the oncoming lane (thank god for no traffic) and we were both fine.

Was riding in the back seat of a car driving down into Dillion when our car got FUCKING SLAMMED by a run away semi truck. Craziest shit I have been in in my life. My friend in the back seat got a concussion, but thankfully I was alright. Later in the month we got the full police report saying the truck hit us at 87 mph. Ever since I have always been kinda nervous when driving infront of trucks.

Assuming here, but I reckon homes was talking in km/h, in which case it's fast but not reckless-fast.

When I was younger my family and I were driving home from my grandparents place. We were passing a semi and it's trailer started tipping back and forth as we were next to it. It released from the tractor (the proper name for a semi truck) and tipped over into the median throwing up dirt and crap. We were in shock as it could have tipped over on us. Idk how he didn't feel it but it took the truck driver like 2 miles to realize his trailor was gone.

so funniest driving story i have is when my aunt Rita, on my mothers side not my fathers, was driving and that day had lost her glasses. She keeps telling us all "I can do it you little shit heads" being 78 she clearly could not as she was almost legally blind. So me, my cousin Ed, and my uncle nick (you know one of those weird uncle/aunt almost the same age as you late babies) are in their on our way to the town dodgeball tournament and Rita is changing lanes like a mad woman, on the wrong side of the rode, almost ran into a Perkins and defintely killed a dog. Here comes oncoming traffic but no response she keeps speeding. Finally we whip under a car like fast and furious and we slam into the side of what we think is an oil truck. The casing bursts open and this clear smooth liquid flows all over the car. At the time i didnt know what is was but it was Lube!! not knowing me Nick and Ed start sliding over the hood of the car as we await to the ambulance for my aunt Rita. Luckily the doctors were able to remove the shard of glass in her shoulder using the lube from the truck. To this day i still remember Rita for that story. RIP Rita oh dont worry she died years later of rabies

I was going to post some of the pics I've taken while driving that I have uploaded as private photos in my media. But the NS media functionality has become worthless. If you click the picture button, it shows you your photos, but if you click "next page" or whatever in the bottom right, it does not go to the next page.

i never thought that a Subaru baja could go fast..
i'm quite wrong, my buddy drives like a bat out of hell all the time. and i learned what it's like to go 130 back home half drunk....i wasn't driving, but it was still too scary..
and he always drives over 100....everywhere. so driving with him is just a hazard.
ahhh fun fact this is all in mp/h

went 130 in daddy's lexus right after it rained into a turn on the highway after a school event. i slid through the whole turn and was positive i was about to die.

took 2.5 hours to get out of parking after a wiz khalifa show and even once we got on the highway at one point we didn't move for 30 minutes. we got so bored we ran out of the car and picked flowers off the side of the highway and threw skittles at each other. fun night.

almost crashed into a cop car head on one night only a few months after getting my permit. i shit my pants but the cop didn't even stop me.

pushing my van to 105 while driving up to 7 springs is always hilarious

A friend of mine had a police car hit him during his driving lesson. I imagine that as quite the funny situation. I havent yet had any really good stories to tell. Got hit in the side by another car and also hit a few animals on my ways. Nothing too crazy though...

Back in July, I was traveling with a friend to New Jersey (from Upstate New York) and we were on a state road with the speed limit at 55.  I was stopped at a light with 2 lanes going forward that eventually merged into one.  I was in the left lane, and the right lane had to merge into mine, so I had the right of way.

The guy in the other lane tries to beat me to the merge, but I stayed ahead of him and at the fastest point I was going around 90mph. Now that the lanes had merged, I let off the gas and was going to let my car just coast back to the speed limit instead of braking. It was a curvy road with lots of trees, so I couldn't see around corners too well obviously.

That's when a cop passes me going the opposite way and immediately turns on his lights and pulls over to his side of the road.  At this point I'm still going about 80mph, so I figure he pulled over so he could make a u-turn and pursue me.

I keep going only a few hundred yards and take the first turn I see, and then take another turn up a dirt road and hope for the best.  No kidding, a large trucked pulled out from a driveway behind me and took up the entire road, and he was going the opposite direction.

So I backtracked a bit and avoided the road I had been speeding on and then got back on my original route to where I was going. Never got a ticket or anything.

sitting at a light, I'm getting ready to turn left at the intersection. This jeep decides to bump a minivan and then push him into the middle of the intersection, then the Jeep reversed back to the front of the line at the intersection.

Man, this was the stupidest thing ever. Back in high school one day I was driving home, and I was sitting at a red light waiting for it to turn green. A good looking girl walks by on the sidewalk and I turn as she walks by to get a look. As I turn to look, my foot slips off the brake pedal and the car starts crawling forward. Instinctively I react by jamming my foot back on the brake, except I accidently jammed it on the gas by accident. Smacked right into the car in front of me. You can imagine how stupid I felt while explaining the story to my parents.

1. I was real stoned and my town has two stoplights that are really close together. The 1st one was red and the 2nd one was green and was just turning yellow. So I floored it to make the light and ran the 1st light that was red. Luckily there was no one going through the intersection at the time, my friend saw it and called me like dude wtf are you doing?!?!? I didn't get a red light ticket either since there wasn't a camera hahaha good times

2. A street in my neighborhood is around a 1 mile straightaway, the speed limit is 35 the whole way. I usually speed pretty fast on it usually around 60ish, even my mom does 50-55 haha. Sometimes I just floor it because it is way too tempting. Theres not many places for cars to pull out in front of you, and I had never really worried about it before. It was late at night and I was going around 110mph when a car ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of me. I swerved into oncoming traffic to pass em since there was no one coming but it was a pretty close call. It wasn't really a big deal since I pass people across the double yellow a lot on that road but it was pretty scared to think I could have rear ended someone doing 110.

3. Got a ticket for doing 76 in a 30 , once again couldn't resist flooring it on a big ass straightaway

4. Driving down to snow flex, we maxed out my friends sketchy ass truck doing like 95-100 haha. The speedometer ended at 80 but we were still accelerating for awhile past that

passed at car at 145km/h on a 70km/h rural road in my dads car while giving a friend a lift. I swear I was inches for the edge of the road, ie hitting gravel, losing control and dying. Scariest thing I've done, learned my lesson.

Also, 3 or 4 weeks ago, three girls from my town (all 18) were playing truth or dare in a car when someone dared the driver to hit 160km/h in a 50 zone. They hit a bump, the top heavy SUV lost balance, they ended up rolling several times before being chucked several dozen feet into the air and hitting a tree (you can see the point of impact: the tree broke higher than the powerlines). The shotgun passenger was ejected through the window and was killed on the spot, the backseat passenger had her legs crushed and bled to death and the driver narrowly escaped death, waking up from a coma after several operations.

Don't do stupid shit kids, it's not even near worth it.

I was sitting in the back left seat, my other friend was in the passenger seat. We pulled out into a four way intersection and there was a van coming that the my friend driving didnt see. Hit us 75 feet through a fence and that's the cement edge of a swimming pool that we're stopped on. Lucky the car got hit in the one spot nobody was sitting, and that we didnt end up in the pool haha. Craaaazy shit seeing headlights and knowing youre about to get hit

I made a left turn onto a street off of a road then literally all of the sudden there is a black accura trailing me like 5 feet away, so me being a smartass, I brake-check the person really fast. That pissed her off even more so I pulled into the next lane so she would keep going, she pulls in 10 feet or so in front of me, my friend is about to get out of the car and fight her, but she threw it in reverse and nearly hit him, so I turned around and went back on the road and sped away. Didnt see the car again

was driving on some backroads with a buddy, saw headlights behind us so I speed up. Headlights kept gaining on us, so i floored it. car goverened out at 220km/h and this car still was tailing us. soo i slow down to see what this guy is up, and thats when she flipped on her cherries. Pulled over, female cop get's out and asks "why did you keep speeding up evertime i got close to you?" i replied " i thought someone was following me" eneded up being hands down the nicest cop iv'e ever dealt with and let us go with just a warning, when she could have seized my car and i could have lost my liscence.
