Car Jokes

Here is a page of our free, funny car jokes, stories, and one-liners.  Will and Guy have collected a diverse selection of a dozen of the best motorist and car jokes.

1. Don’t Swear At Other Drivers!

Eddie was driving down the road and met a car coming the other way. Although there was room to pass easily, Eddie forced the oncoming car to slow down and wound down his window, and shouted ‘Pig’.  The other driver looked in his rearview mirror and swore at Eddie. Then his car hit the pig.

2. Murphy’s Car Is Stolen

Murphy’s wife borrowed his car and parked in the supermarket car park. Just as she came out laden with shopping, she saw a young lad break into the car, hot-wire it, and drive off.  Naturally, she reported the matter to the police.’ What did he look like? the sergeant asked.  ‘I don’t
know she replied, I got the license plate’.

3. Time To Stop

A traffic cop pulled alongside a speeding car on the motorway. Glancing into the car, he was astounded to see that the young lady, who was driving, was knitting.

Realizing that she was oblivious to his flashing lights and siren, the policeman wound down his window, turned on his loudspeaker, and yelled, ‘PULL OVER!’

‘NO’, the young lady yelled back, ‘It’s A SCARF!’

  • To avoid a collision I ran into the other car.
  • A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
  • I thought the side window was down but it was up, as I found when I put my head through it.

  • Cow wandered into my car. I was afterward informed that the cow was half-witted.
  • Three women were talking to each other and when two stepped back and one stepped forward I had to have an accident.
  • There were plenty of lookers on but no witnesses.
  • A bull was standing nearby and a fly must have tickled him because he gored my car.

5. What To Do About Cars Speeding In Villages?

The local council could not afford a speed camera, so they put up a sign saying: Slow down Old People’s Home.  – It had no effect.

At the next meeting, they decided to play on their paternal instincts and put up a sign:
Danger – Children at Play.  The result was no discernable reduction in traffic speed.

Then the chairman had a brain-wave and suggested they try a sign with Nudist Colony.  – As a result of the Nudist Colony notice, white vans, and lorries crawl through the village.

5a. Fact is Stranger than Fiction – Miss Whiplash

Miss Whiplash

Andy Jones decided to put into practice the idea of slowing down motorists with an eye-catching statement.  Mr Jones of Littledean, Gloucestershire, England decided to use a manikin model instead of a written sign.  What makes this more complicated and interesting is that Mr. Jones owns a crime museum, and his model is ‘Miss Whiplash’.  She certainly turns heads.

Councillor Bernie Giles takes the view that ‘Miss Whiplash’ is not necessary, and others believe that she may cause more accidents than she prevents.

6. Good Deal for Freya

gift bag

Freya was driving her Chevrolet Vega home in New Mexico when she saw an elderly Apache woman walking along the side of the road. She stopped the car and asked the woman if she would like a lift.

With a silent nod, the woman climbed into the car. Freya tried in vain to make conversation with the Apache woman.

The old Apache looked closely at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a red gift bag on the seat next to Freya.

‘What’s in the bag?’ asked the old woman.

‘It’s a bottle of whisky that I got for my husband.’

The Apache woman was silent for another minute or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said, ‘Good trade.’

7. Best Driving Excuses

grouse bottle

I was thinking of listing my favorite driving excuses, but I heard a case on a website where a chap boasted about getting away with something, only for the Police to read his site and arrest him.  So I’ll have to keep certain ideas in the pending tray.  Well, I cannot leave you in suspense.  Here is my favorite driving excuse, names have been withheld to protect the guilty.

A lady drove the wrong way up a one-way street and then parked on double yellow lines.  When
she came out of the shop, there was a policeman, notebook in hand.’ Do you realize what you have just done madam?’ the policeman said, as reeled off enough offenses to have her banned from driving.

‘But you cannot book me officer’, she said.  The officer replied more intrigued than doubting his authority, ‘and why not? ‘Because’, the lady said, ‘my husband will beat me – AGAIN.’

I have to say quickly, that I know for a fact, that this lady’s husband is the most mild-mannered and loving man you could meet (and it’s not me).  What I am searching for is the magic driving
excuse but reversing the genders.  I cannot in all sincerity say to a police officer, ‘You cannot book because my wife will beat me’, or even ‘because my wife will nag me – again’.  It just does not carry this same Veritas when the genders are reversed.

8. An Unnamed Formula One Team

The unnamed Formula One Team sacked its entire pit crew yesterday. The announcement followed their decision to take advantage of the UK Government’s Youth Opportunity Scheme and employ people from Liverpool.

The decision to hire the teenagers was brought on by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from the Liverpool area were able to remove a set of wheels in less than six seconds without proper equipment, whereas the Formula Ones existing crew can only do it in eight seconds with millions of euros worth of high tech equipment.

Prime Minister Tony Blair went on record as saying this was a bold move by the Formula 1 management, which demonstrated the international recognition of the UK under New Labour. As most races are won and lost in the pits, the unnamed team now has the advantage over every team.

However, Formula One may have got more than they bargained for. At the crew’s first practice session, the Liverpool pit crew successfully changed the tires in under six seconds, but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed, re-badged, and sold the vehicle to the ***** Team for eight bottles of Stella, a kilo of speed, and some photos of M******’s bird in the shower.

9. A True Car Story – Allegedly

police car gif

A man goes to a party and has too much to drink. His friends plead with him to let them take him home. He says no – he only lives a mile away.

About five blocks from the party the police pull him over for weaving all over the road, ask him to get out of the car, and take the breathalyzer test. Just as he is about to blow into the bag, the police radio informs the policemen of a robbery taking place in a house a short distance away.

The police tell the partygoer to remain where he is, they will be right back, and they run down the street to the robbery.

The guy waits and waits and finally decides to drive home. When he gets there, he tells his wife he is going to bed, and to tell anyone who might come looking for him that he has ‘flu and has been in bed all day.

A few hours later the police knock on the door. They ask if Mr. X lives there and his wife says yes. They ask to see him and she replies that he is in bed with ‘flu and has been there all day. However, the police have his driver’s license. They ask to see his car, and she asks why. They insist on seeing his car, so she takes them to the garage and opens the door where they find the police car, lights still flashing.

Motorway Problem

As Retired Lieutenant Commander Andrew Craig was driving his old car down the motorway, his mobile phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife’s voice urgently warning him, ‘Andrew, I just heard on the news that there’s a car going the wrong way on the M275. Please be careful!’

‘Botheration, ‘said Andrew, ‘It’s not just one car.  Its hundreds of them!’

10. Young v Old Drivers – No Contest

Elsie, an elderly lady, stopped to drive into a parking space when a young man in his brand new red BMW drove around her and parked in the space that she had been waiting for. Elsie was so angered that she approached the young fellow and enquired, through gritted teeth, ‘I was about to park there.’ The man looked at her with disdain and replied, ‘That’s what you can do when you’re young and bright.’

This annoyed Elsie even more, so she got back in her car, backed it up, and then she stamped on the accelerator and rammed straight into his BMW.

The young man ran back to his car and shouted in a stunned voice, ‘What did you do that for?’

Elsie smiled at him and said, ‘That’s what you can do when you’re old and rich.’

11. To My Darling Husband

Before you return from your overseas trip I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick-up truck when I turned into the driveway.
Fortunately not too bad and I didn’t get hurt, so please don’t worry too much about me.

I was coming home from Asda, and when I turned into the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent but the pick-up unfortunately came to a halt when it bumped into your car.

I am sorry but I know with your kind-hearted personality you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you, my sweetheart. I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again.

Your loving wife.

12. Drive on…Classic Car Tale

A group of pensioners were discussing their medical problems at the Day Centre coffee morning.

‘Do you realize,’ said one, ‘My arm is so weak I can hardly hold this coffee cup.’

‘Yes, I know.’ replied the second, ‘My cataracts are so bad I can’t see to pour the coffee.’

‘I can’t turn my head,’ rejoined the third, ‘because of the arthritis in my neck.’

‘My blood pressure pills make me dizzy,’ commented the fourth, adding, ‘I guess that’s the price we pay for getting old.’

‘Well, it’s not all bad.’ piped up the first, ‘We should be thankful that we can still drive.’

Bring Down Petrol Prices, Take Action, Funny Petrol Cartoons

Petrol wallet

While bringing down petrol prices is a worthy aim, it is the concept that appeals.

We can imagine using this method of boycotting to control all sorts of multinational companies that get too big for their boots.

Bring Down Petrol Prices

Here is a new twist on the old idea of a round-robin letter.  The point is the power of the internet can harness vast numbers of people to take action against a petrol cartel that inflates prices.

It intrigues us to see if this example of people power takes off, or if apathy will allow the big companies to continue manipulating their customers.

Here is the real letter, but with names changed

petrol cartoon

Dear Motorist,

We are hitting £1.23p a liter in some areas now, soon we will be faced with paying £1.50 per liter.  Here is the idea:

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the ‘don’t buy petrol on a certain day campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn’t continue to hurt ourselves by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. However, whoever thought of this idea has come up with a plan that can work.

Please read it and join in!

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a liter is CHEAP, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace place not sellers. With the price of petrol increasing each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of petrol come down is if we hit someone in the pocket by not purchasing their Petrol! And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. Here’s the idea:

For the rest of this year DON’T purchase ANY petrol from the two biggest oil companies, I’ll call them E$$O and GBP.

If they are not selling any petrol, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact we need to reach millions of E$$O and GBP petrol buyers. It’s really simple to do!!

Now, don’t wimp out on me at this point… keep reading and I’ll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

I am sending this note to a lot of people. If each of you sends it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)… and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) … and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it…

THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all YOU have to do is send this to 10 people. That’s all. (And not buy at E$$O and GBP) How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.

PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE 89p a LITRE RANGE

It’s easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your petrol at small local petrol stations, or else supermarkets, the point is to boycott E$$O and GBP

Yours sincerely

Boycotting Petrol Stations is a Flawed Idea – Say the Experts

petrol loan cartoon

Economics Prof. Pat Welch of St. Louis University says any boycott of ‘bad guy’ gasoline in favor of ‘good guy’ brands would have some unintended (and unhappy) results.

Prof Welch says the law of supply and demand is set in stone. ‘To meet the sudden demand,’ he says, ‘the good guys would have to buy gasoline wholesale from the bad guys, who are suddenly stuck with unwanted gasoline.’

So motorists would end up . . . paying more for it because they’d be buying it at fewer stations.

Also, oil companies buy and sell from one another. Mike Right of AAA Missouri says, ‘If a company has a station that can be served more economically by a competitor’s refinery, they’ll do it.’

Right adds, ‘In some cases, gasoline retailers have no refinery at all. Some convenience store chains sell a lot of gasoline – and buy it all from somebody else’s refinery.’

A boycott of a couple of brands of gasoline won’t result in lower overall prices. Prices at all the non-boycotted outlets would rise due to the temporarily limited supply and increased demand, making the original prices look cheap by comparison. The shunned outlets could then make a killing by offering gasoline at its ‘normal’ (i.e., pre-boycott) price or by selling off their output to the non-boycotted companies, who will need the extra supply to meet demand. The only person who gets hurt in this proposed scheme is the service station operator, who has almost no control over the price of gasoline.

fuel gauge

The only practical way of reducing gasoline prices is through the straightforward means of buying less gasoline, not through a simple and painless scheme of just shifting where we buy it. The inconvenience of driving less is a hardship too many people aren’t willing to endure, however.

The Final Word

Will and Guy accept that this particular case of ‘Bringing down petrol prices’ is moving into the category of urban myth.  However, we stand by the idea that public opinion, whipped up by internet sites, could be a useful weapon to curb the excesses of big companies.  If you see any cases where public pressure causes a big company to back down or reduce prices, please let us know.

‘What difference does it make’ said Rodney, ‘slow down or stop’. ‘I will give you a demonstration’ said the officer and started beating Rodney with his truncheon.’ Now would you like me to slow down – or stop?

3b. Speed Trapping – British Style

Beware: Speed Trap Ahead

Two British traffic patrol officers from North Berwick, Northumberland, UK, were involved in an unusual incident while checking for speeding motorists on the A1 Great North Road.
One of the officers used a hand-held radar device to check the speed of a vehicle approaching over the crest of a hill and was surprised when the speed was recorded at over 300mph. The machine then stopped working and the officers were not able to reset it. The radar had latched on to a NATO Tornado fighter jet over the North Sea, which was engaged in a low-flying exercise over the Border district. Back at police headquarters, the chief constable fired off a complaint to the RAF [Royal Air Force] Liaison Office. Back came the reply in true laconic RAF style.

Tornado jet

‘Thank you for your message, which allows us to complete the file on this incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Tornado had automatically locked on to your ‘hostile radar equipment’ and sent a jamming signal back to it. Furthermore, the Sidewinder Air-to-ground missiles aboard the fully-armed aircraft had also locked on to the target. Fortunately, the Dutch pilot flying the Tornado responded to the missile status alert intelligently and was able to override the automatic protection system before the missile was launched.

Fabulous, Clever, and Amusing Traffic Calming Idea

cycle art

Cyclists slow down to avoid this crater-sized “hole” in the middle of a riverside towpath in London, England.  Here we can see a young lady looking into the “hole”; but the hole is an optical illusion, a three-dimensional drawing of a canyon, in an attempt to make careless
cyclists hit the brakes rather than ride dangerously and ignore pedestrians.

This pavement art is the work of Joe Hill and Max Lowry, who specialize in three-dimensional images, and it was commissioned by British Waterways and installed along the Regent’s Canal towpath in Islington, North London.

A BW spokesperson informed Will and Guy, ‘The towpaths are often narrow and are full of historic furniture such as low bridges, lock landings, and bollards, all of which are part of the charm of the canal, but aren’t ideal for cyclists who need to get somewhere in a hurry.’

Hilarious Tale of a Woman Driver: With a Happy Ending

car on roof

A woman driver ended up parking her car on the roof of this Italian house after she forgot to put on the handbrake.  Maria Rizzo, 34, stopped to admire the spectacular view from the street above the house in Alassio, on the Gulf of Genoa in northern Italy.

Will and Guy heard that she was so intent on taking a photograph that she forgot to put on the handbrake, and her car rolled away, smashing through a barrier and plunging down the hill onto the house below.

The Fiat Panda crashed through the roof and landed in the bathroom, with the front end wedged in an iron bath which broke the fall and stopped the red car plunging further into the house.

A police spokesman remarked to us, ‘Luckily no one was home at the time, so nobody was hurt, but the owner of the property did have a surprise when they arrived home.’

No doubt we say.

The Ultimate Car Wash

This amusing and rather worrying story was reported in the Huddersfield Daily Examiner and on BBC Radio 5 Live. for those of us who use car washes: BE WARNED.

A safety expert is demanding action after his car was damaged in a car wash. Richard Wrigley watched in disbelief as the boot of his red Jaguar got caught up in the mechanism of the drying machine at the car wash at Sainsbury’s Shore Head supermarket.

‘I looked in the rearview mirror to see this red thing and realized it was the boot of the car, ‘he said.’ The drying equipment had lifted the boot until it would go no further and crumpled it. I got out and left the driver’s door open. I was looking for a stop button.  The next thing I saw was my car door opening further. I tried to move the car forward, but the drier pushed the door open until it was at right angles to the car body.’ He added, ‘There was no way of stopping the machine and there are no safety instructions for drivers.  Someone could have been badly injured. The machine didn’t stop when it came into contact with the car boot, it just carried on its way.’

Mr Wrigley, speaking on the radio, remarked that the latest quote to repair his door and boot was some £3000. He added, also, that his children who were with him in the car when this happened thoroughly ‘enjoyed’ the adventure!

“What….NO LICENSE?” “Nope! The last time I went to my doctor he examined me and asked if I had a driving license. I told I did have one and handed it to him.

The boy thought about that for a moment and decided he’d settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks his father said, “Joel, you’ve brought your grades up and I’ve seen that you have been studying your Bible. But I’m disappointed you haven’t had your hair cut.”

“You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about that, and I’ve noticed in my Bible studies that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and there’s even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.”

“Joel, did you also notice all those people walked everywhere they went?”

Have you LOST your mind? Don’t forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!’

The wife stared at him in amazement, ‘What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don’t
know how to fry a couple of eggs?’

The husband calmly replied, ‘I wanted to show you what it feels like when I’m driving.’

No Laughing in the Woods

A German has been ordered to stop laughing out loud in the woods after joggers complained that he was disturbing the peace. Accountant Joachim Bahrenfeld, 54, from Datteln said he goes to the woods after work and at weekends to have a good belly laugh.’ It’s part of living for me, like eating, drinking and breathing. I feel much better when I laugh, it’s freeing and healthy, ‘he said.

Now he faces a £4,000 [$7000USD] fine or six months in jail if he laughs out loud again after a jogger successfully took him to court saying he was disturbing the peace.

German laugh expert Susanne Maier, who founded the German Laughter Academy which aims to teach serious-minded Germans to lighten up, said, ‘Mr Bahrenfeld has been doing what we advise our students to do and that is to find a place they like to have a good old giggle.
It would do the person who made the complaint and the judge good to come along to our school and learn for themselves the benefits of letting it all go.’

She was, of course quite contrite and spoke politely to the young police constable who had stopped her. She was asked if she wanted to pay a fixed penalty fine or attend a defensive driving course held daily at the local Community Centre. This
she agreed to wholeheartedly.

The police constable told her not to be late that being on time was crucial and that the classroom doors would be locked when each session began. Never a good timekeeper, Yvonne was late for the first appointment and in trepidation knocked on the door. The policeman opened it and demanded to know why Yvonne was late. ‘I was trying not to get another ticket,’ mumbled Yvonne. The constable let her in.

Coping with Worry

Theresa: Doctor, I get so nervous and frightened during driving tests is there
anything you can give me? Doctor: Just don’t try not to worry about it. You’ll pass eventually.

Theresa: But I’m the examiner.

Blind Driver

“Funny Shop Names” reminded me of an amusing incident. While driving down a highway I approached a van that had on the back “Caution, this van is being driven by a blind man”.  As I passed this vehicle the name on the side indicated that it was a delivery van for installing window treatments including Venetian Blinds.

Wheel Clamping Revenge – Ringley

wheel clamp

Residents in a housing complex at Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England woke up to find their cars had been clamped by two big men from London Parking Control.  Did they take it lying down?  No.  What they did was to take revenge and block the clamper’s cars.

The residents banded together and got five of their un-clamped cars to blockade the exit.  Angry car owners phoned a friend.  The resulting cavalry were able to hem in the clampers’ cars and give them a taste of their own medicine. – Wheel clamping revenge.

After a tense five-hour stand-off, the management company backed down and called off the clampers.

The underlying problem was a new parking scheme that Ringley was introducing.  What went wrong was that letters sent about the new regulations did not reach the residents who were supposed to comply.

A spokeswoman for the London Parking Control said: ‘We are still looking into the incident and liaising with our client, Ringley.’

Unfortunately, some residents just had to get out for urgent appointments; Guy and Will do hope that they get their £125 fine refunded.

Not So Funny Parking Tickets

parking ticket

Westminster Council (London, England)

A traffic warden gave out parking tickets to the ‘Thames Whale Rescuers’. Even though the police had permitted them to park, they were in the act of trying to save the poor whale.  Zero compassion from the warden.

Another Westminster council traffic warden gave four parking tickets to cars in a funeral cortege as mourners paid their respects to the deceased.  Zero humanity.

In nearby Camden Town, a parking attendant issued a parking ticket to an RSPCA inspector
who was rescuing an injured bird.  An RSPCA spokesman said that this was not the first time one of his inspectors had received a parking ticket when going about his duties.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Misar Ahmed stopped his taxi to help a woman who was ill.  While he nursed her in the back of his cab as he waited for an ambulance, a cowardly parking attendant gave him a not-very-funny parking ticket.

In a similar case, Patricia and Welch were amazed to get a parking ticket when they rushed a neighbor to a doctor’s surgery.  The woman who had a heart attack was later taken by ambulance to the hospital.  Surprisingly, the ambulance managed to avoid getting a ticket.  Zero common sense.

All give and no take.

As nurses in a National Blood Service van were taking blood from volunteer blood donors, a jobsworth was issuing a parking.  The parking attendant informed the amazed driver that he did
not have permission to be in a parking bay.  One anonymous donor said he had been giving blood in the same spot for 4 years without trouble. Zero public spirit.

Yellow Line Fever.

Mike Fox of Salisbury Road, West Ealing, London, kindly agreed that contractors could move his car so that they could paint yellow lines.  A waiting traffic warden pounced and issued a parking ticket in the spot where the contractors had parked Mike’s car.

One morning Michael Dickinson of Hendon parked his car perfectly legally.  The road had never had any parking restrictions.  However, when he returned in the afternoon, he could see that a yellow line had been painted up to his car, and a warden had slapped a parking ticket on his windscreen.  Zero sense of natural justice.

Drivers Wheel Clamp Revenge

Three Short Funny Parking Ticket Snippets

  • One driver was in a collision with a joy rider.  His car was damaged and could not be driven.  He received a parking ticket.
  • A driving instructor who got a parking ticket when his pupil ran into difficulties during a three-point turn.
  • Stephen McKenzie-McHarg of Australia only has one arm, thus it takes him a little longer than other motorists to unload his luggage at the airport.  A traffic warden spotted his predicament and gave him a parking ticket.

Funny Parking Ticket Story

parking ticket

Eddie went out to buy a paper, and he was only gone for about three minutes. When he came out of the shop, a traffic warden was writing out a parking ticket.  The car was on a double yellow line.

Eddie approached the warden and said smiling, ‘Give me a break, I was only away a minute.’

The warden just carried on writing out the parking ticket and completely ignored Eddie’s plea. Eddie, rather angry at being so openly ignored, called the warden, ‘A goose-stepping Nazi.’

The warden glared at Eddie and started writing another parking ticket, this time for having a smooth tire. Eddie called him an even ruder name. The traffic warden finished the second
ticket and put it on the windscreen alongside the first.  Then he started writing a third ticket for a tiny hole in the windscreen! This went on for about twenty minutes, and you can see the result in the picture to the right.

The more Eddie insulted him, the more tickets the traffic warden wrote out and slapped on the windscreen.

Eddie did not care one bit.  Eddie thought it funny because his car was safely parked on the top floor of the multi-story car park.

How to Dispute Parking Tickets

Collect evidence

  • Take pictures showing you did not infringe.  For example, signs where letters have worn away.  Obstructions, especially foliage.
  • Check dates, times, and locations one could be incorrect and thus get you off.  (The sign may be too high to see.)
  • Photograph any markings – especially if they are worn and partly illegible.

Send a letter to the relevant department

  • Keep your letter to one side!
  • Make sure you post the letter before the penalty date (30 days).
  • Include any valid parking ticket.  E.g. if fell off the dashboard.

Other Options for Disputed Parking Ticket

  • Seek a personal hearing.  Especially if you have a good case.
  • Scour local websites for assistance.  Official and unofficial sites may have a killer reason why parking tickets were invalid.
  • Contact a local journalist.  They may even publish a funny parking ticket story, which will make you feel better.
  • Get over it.  Pay your fine.  Learn from your parking mistake – move on.

Funny Sat-Nav

St. Hilary Sat Nav Problem

St Hilary sat nav sign

The Vale of Glamorgan council is pioneering a new road sign, which is designed to stop lorry drivers with Satellite Navigation from getting stuck in its country lanes.

The new Sat Nav road sign features a lorry with a red line through it, this is a familiar no-entry convention.  What’s new is the is a picture of a satellite hovering above the vehicle.  It should not take long for drivers to understand the sign, especially as lorry drivers have the world’s best grapevine for traffic news.

St. Hilary in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales, will be the first village to benefit from the trial of the Sat Nav (Satellite Navigation) road sign. The story within the story is that Guy lived in the village of St. Hilary, Glamorgan, Wales, UK for 20 years.

sat nav narorow sign

Residents in the area called for more signs, saying it was the third time that roads leading to St Hilary had been blocked in recent months. Although marked on the satellite maps as roads, the routes are little more than lanes.  A related problem is that these lanes meander through steep-sided cuttings, and a lorry cannot force its way through.  More foolishness is that the Sat Nav tries to direct 32-ton lorries through narrow roads with 90-degree bends flanked with stone walls.

Bill Clay, of Coed Hills farm, St. Hilary said, ‘I feel very sorry for them because they just don’t understand the signs.’ Hopefully, publicity such as this will enlighten the lorry drivers.  Bill added, ‘There was a Spanish chap who had driven from Poland who was stuck in the lane
near our home for over two hours once.’

The signs will be monitored and maintained for a year, and there a plans to erect more Sat Nav signs in other locations in Wales (United Kingdom, not New South Wales Australia).

Will and Guy wonder why the Sat Nav companies don’t re-program their systems, and advise drivers of long, wide, and heavy vehicles to take the perfectly good alternative route.  If the
Welsh Assembly know about the problem, why cannot they liaise with suppliers and ask the programmers to change a few lines of code?

Example: if vehicle width is greater than 2 Metres then don’t go through St. Hilary.  Or if the road has a Sat Nav sign then take route B.

Will’s Funny Sat-Nav

Ever the Joker – here is Will’s international Sat Nav.  The latest I heard he was in the South American jungle.

Walk-on Ferry Only (Sat Nav Error)

Hampton loade ferry

Another sat nav blunder is pointing hundreds of drivers to a bridge that has never existed. According to the dashboard devices, it is possible to drive down a country lane to cross the River Severn at Hampton Loade, Shropshire. At the end of the road, however, there was only a ferry for foot passengers – as a sign at the top of the lane has warned drivers for years.

The foot passenger ferry has been closed since May 2007.

Sat Nav Problems in Wiltshire

sat nav river

Drivers visiting Luckington, Wiltshire, have been getting that sinking feeling after trying to find a detour around a road closure in Sherston.  Satellite navigation systems, together with misleading signs have been blamed after dozens of motorists tried to drive through a Ford at Brookend in Luckington.

Several lorries and vans have got stuck in up to three feet of water. Enterprising farmers have been towing out stricken vehicles at £25 a time.

One local resident has been helping stranded drivers to dry out.  The lady said: ‘The other day my husband came home and I had to explain why there were a van driver’s trousers in our tumble dryer. He was sitting in his cab, shivering in his boxer shorts.’

Sat Nav Problem in Devon

stuck lorry

A lorry driver who was led off course by his sat nav got his HGV so tightly wedged in a narrow country lane he had to spend three nights sleeping in his cab before being rescued.

Residents living near the scene in Ivybridge, near Plymouth, Devon, were astonished when the
LGV became wedged in the wooded lane last Friday evening. The Czech driver, who was in his forties and called Yuri, was on his way to pick up a consignment of TVs from a depot at nearby Lee Moor and was led up the lane that runs between the A379 and the A38 by his sat nav.

Unfortunately, Yuri who was driving a Kohlman and Hasek articulated lorry was unable to speak enough English to ask directions when he suspected he was being led into difficulty.

Mat Auburn, 19, whose family lives within yards of the scene said that there had been similar sat nav blunders in the past with delivery lorries – but nothing on this scale. Mat said: ‘What happened was he came up to one of the lanes leading off the A379.

‘He said the sat nav told him to come up the lane and he stopped near a house to ask directions but the woman couldn’t understand him so he carried on along the lane,’ he said.

‘But you wouldn’t drive any sort of lorry up there – it’s got a 90-degree turn. ‘The lorry was stopped in its tracks by an overhead pipe but could not back up. ‘When he tried to reverse the wheels just skidded – he just couldn’t get any grip,’ Mr Auburn said.

It was a lucky coincidence that Yuri’s truck had got stuck right in front of the Auburn family house as mum Marina, is Croatian and could speak enough Croat and Slavic-based language to understand him.

Over the course of the two days Mrs Auburn and her husband, Tim, a university lecturer, hosted lorry driver, Yuri, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and struck up a friendship, which they plan to continue.  However, Yuri, who has a wife and two children in the Czech Republic, slept in his cab, as it had a bed.

‘The nearest village is about a mile away and there were no B&Bs close,’ Mat said.  ‘He slept in his cab. It had a bed in it so it made sense. ‘We looked after him for the rest of the time. He came in to eat.’

Mat said the Czech haulage company decided to wait until a weekday rather than attempting an expensive weekend rescue.  Eventually, a tractor was hired to pull the lorry out of the lane, with the help of a tree surgeon, who made sure minimal damage was done to vegetation.

Mat added: ‘The lorry was a nuisance while it was there because locals do use it a lot. ‘The diversion put a few miles on people’s journeys.’

Does Your Sat-Nav Drive You Mad? or Does It Drive You Where You Want to Go?

Read on for a true, hilarious, and funny story:

This tale is almost impossible to believe but Will and Guy have been assured of its veracity.
Reported in the British Daily Telegraph newspaper we have discovered a lorry driver who, after trying to drive from Turkey to Gibraltar using sat-nav, finds himself some 1600 miles off course.

Necdet Bakimci was driving his 32-tonne lorry, carrying expensive cars, from Turkey to Gibraltar when he fetched up, lost, in Skegness, England. Apparently, there is a Gibraltar POINT in Skegness.

Eventually, Mr Bakimci arranged for his firm in Antakya, Turkey, to ship the cars to the correct destination from Birmingham and he began his journey home.

The blunder is one of a series that has prompted calls for drivers to use more common sense and less technology when taking to the roads. We must say that we agree with this sentiment entirely and we suggest that a modicum of planning might have helped.

Painting

One day, Jimmy knocks on the door of a home in an upper-class neighborhood.  The lady of the house answers.’ Pardon me Ma’am’, Jimmy says, ‘I’m out of work and looking for any odd jobs that people need done.  I’m very handy with everything from repairs to yard work, to painting…’

‘Painting?’ the woman jumped in.

‘Oh, yes, Ma’am! I’m a very careful painter, ‘Jimmy replied, his face brightening at the
the realization that she could provide him with some work.

‘I’ll tell you what. My husband just bought some green paint last week to paint the porch out back, but we haven’t had any time. If you can do a good job, then you can paint it before he gets home and surprise him.

‘Now, do a particularly good job and paint the trimmings white as well, and I’ll pay you an extra bonus.’

‘Oh yes, Ma’am, I’ll do an excellent job!’
She then told Jimmy where to find the paints around back in the garage.

A few hours later, Jimmy returns to the door.’ That was quick, did you do a good job?’ the woman inquires.

‘Oh yes Ma’am, two coats! But there’s something you should know, ‘Jimmy says.

‘That car is not a Porsche, it’s a Ferrari!’

Painter Meets His Maker

A painter and decorator has been thinning down his paint for years, but charging his clients the full price.

One day the vicar of the local church approaches him and asks him to paint the church. The painter and decorator thinks Yipeee – I’ll make a fortune here, lots of paint to thin down. He’s up the ladder painting away, thinking about how much money he is going to make when a storm sweeps in. A bolt of lightning hits him whilst he is on his ladder and he is thrown clear into the churchyard. A dark cloud moves above him and he fears that he is about to meet His Maker. He calls out and asks God what must he do to be given a second chance.

There is a roll of thunder and a voice booms from heaven – Re-paint, re-paint, and thin no more!!

2. An unnamed Formula 1 Team

The unnamed Formula 1 Team sacked its entire pit crew yesterday. The announcement followed their decision to take advantage of the UK Government’s Youth Opportunity Scheme and employ people from Liverpool.

The decision to hire the teenagers was brought on by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from the Liverpool area were able to remove a set of wheels in less than six seconds without proper equipment, whereas Formula 1’s existing crew can only do it in eight seconds with millions of Euros worth of high tech equipment.

Prime Minister Tony Blair went on record as saying this was a bold move by the Formula 1 management, which demonstrated the international recognition of the UK under New Labour. As most races are won and lost in the pits, the unnamed team now has the advantage over every team.

However, Formula 1 may have got more than they bargained for. At the crew’s first practice session, the Liverpool pit crew successfully changed the tires in under six seconds, but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed, re-badged, and sold the vehicle to the ***** Team for eight bottles of Stella, a kilo of speed, and some photos of M******’s bird in the shower.

Classic 1961 Volkswagen

Volkswagen 1961

Translated from German, Volkswagen means car of the people.  In 1938 Hitler showed great interest in producing a car for 1,000 marks and was responsible for changing the name to KdF Wagen. (Kraft durch Freude) which means “Strength through Joy.”  However, the Second World War meant that the factory switched production to military vehicles.

Fewer than 800 KdF Wagen were produced before 1945.  It was only in 1946 that the name Volkswagen was adopted and production reached 1,000 cars per month.

Volkswagen Urban Myth

Two 18-wheeler trucks were both driving on the same carriageway of Interstate 8 near Yuma.  Unfortunately, one was heading east, while the other was heading west.  Predictably, the two trucks smashed into one another and both drivers died instantly.

The recovery services took the trucks to a junkyard in Yuma.  After about a week the wreckage began to smell.  It got worse every day. they got out the blow torches and when they prized the two trucks apart, there was a classic VW ‘Bunny Beetle’ with a dead fox in the driver’s seat.
