Funny Car Accidents

Funny car accidents are really not funny. What are funny are the different excuses that have been reported to insurance companies. It’s not so much the excuses themselves that are funny but the way they are worded. In a society that values brevity, motorists who have been in an accident often try to save words when reporting accidents to their insurance providers. While this might save space on a reporting-form, it does sacrifice clarity and replace it with hilarity.

Here are some funny excuses for car accidents that show how dangerous pedestrians can be:

• The pedestrian had no idea which way to go, so I ran him over
• A pedestrian hit me and then went under my car.
• To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck the pedestrian.

Of course, sometimes the accident is the other vehicle’s fault:

• An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle and vanished.
• A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face.

Signs, trees and even parked cars can really be hazardous to the unwary motorist:

• The telephone pole was approaching fast. I was attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my front end.
• Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don’t have.
• I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.

Then again sometimes it’s the passengers, human and otherwise, that can be the biggest distraction and the ultimate cause of funny car accidents:

• I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law, and headed over the embankment.
• In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.

While there are injuries that are not funny, the explanations are sometimes hilarious:

• I thought my window was down, but I found out it was up when I put my head through it.
• I told the police I was not injured, but upon removing my hair, I found that I had a fractured skull.
