Reminds me of a joke.
An elderly man was driving down the road when he suddenly saw blue lights in his rear-view mirror.
He dutifully pulled over and the officer walked to his door.
“Sir, you rounded a sharp turn about three miles back. When you did, the passenger door came open and your wife fell out onto the roadway.”
“Thank heavens!” the man said.
“What?” said the officer. “Why would you thank heavens for something like that?”
“I thought I’d gone deaf”, the man replied.
Then there’s the German joke about a wrong-way driver on the Autobahn (a serious real life problem):
A little old man decided to visit his cousin an hour away on the Autobahn.
“Hans,” his wife said, “You must take your cell phone, just in case you have car trouble.”
“Yes, Hilda, I will.”
Three hours later Hilda frantically calls Hans—on his way home by now. “Hans, Hans, you MUST be careful, the TV news says there is a wrong-way driver on your part of the Autobahn right now!”
“Yes, yes, I KNOW, Hilda!” Hans replies, “THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THEM PASSING ME!!!”
