Stupid on the Road: Idiots on Planes, Trains, Buses, and Cars Volume 7

By Leland Gregory

New York Times best-selling author Leland Gregory (Stupid History, Stupid American History) presents his 15th collection of silly, weird, shocking, amusing anecdotes highlighting all the hilarious, weird situations that occur on planes, trains, buses, and especially cars.

Stupid on the Road: Idiots on Planes, Trains, Buses, and Cars, the compilation of human stupidity from New York Times best-selling author Leland Gregory, is a riotous collection of the unbelievably bizarre events and behavior that result when people strap themselves in behind the wheel.

This time, Leland--who so entertainingly highlighted humanity's stupidity in the areas of crime, business, love, politics, cruelty, and history--turns his attention to idiots on the road and in the air.

For instance, here are actual statements given by insurance policyholders describing their automobile accidents:

A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.

The guy was all over the place. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.

These true stories, from the strange to the outrageous to the just-plain dumb, will have you shaking your head at the wacky misadventures that have occurred as people attempt to get from point A to point B.

The Latest Compilation of Dopes in Action!

Leland Gregory has carved out a literary career by chronicling stupid behavior. He's cranked out over a dozen volumes covering Stupid Crooks, Stupid Politicians, etc. STUPID ON THE ROAD serves up 292 pages of idiocy on buses, cars, planes and trains. As with his other books, all published by Andrews McMeel, STUPID ON THE ROAD is a hoot. Paging through this 2010 publication, you have to shake your head at how DUMB and/or THOUGHTLESS people can be. An Illinois native, knowing his teenage son was running late for a tennis date, decided to save time by flying him to the match. Unfortunately, to save even more time, he decided to skip landing at an airport and chose to land at the golf course across from the tennis complex! A 32-year-old Maryland woman, traveling on a chartered bus, decided to moon a passing car. As she pressed her butt against the window, it opened - imagine that! - and she fell out and broke several bones. An Australian mother of three was so drunk she decided to let her five-year-old son steer the car; how do we spell c-a-r c-r-a-s-h? Unable to find a mysterious rattle underneath a truck, a Michigan auto mechanic asked a friend to drive it while he hung undeneath to locate the noise. Unfortunately, his clothes got caught up in the drive shaft. The truck finished the drive OK; the mechanic didn't. The tales are drawn from newspaper articles, police reports, accident reports, etc. from around the world. Sad but true and funny too. Recommended.
