Nudity, a fly, and the desire not to crash have led to some of the world's funniest car insurance claims. One motorist even wrecked his pride and joy while ogling a “celebrity” (or so he thought). Another unfortunate soul fell victim to nature's cruellest substance – pollen. Someone even had to learn the hard way that it is important to stick to the correct side of the road. Oh, and it seems that make-up is one of the most dangerous substances to have in a car. These cases inspired experts from InsureAnts.co.uk – an insurance comparison website – to reveal ten hilarious reasons that people have crashed.

 

  • "I was changing a CD and I didn't notice the bend in the road. I ended up sideways in a field, and walked out through the hole where the windscreen was listening to Led Zep"

  • "I thought I saw somebody famous walking down the pavement and took my eye off the road, causing the crash. Mr (Not A Celebrity) saw the accident and kindly agreed to be a witness."

  • "The other driver said he was too busy looking at the map to notice that he had gone the wrong way on a one-way street."

  • "I was trying to swat a fly with the ice scraper and didn't see the other car."

  • "The other driver said they had just driven off the ferry after a week in France and forgot to drive on the left."

  • "I saw somebody getting undressed in their front window and crashed through their wall."

  • "We were driving up to the traffic lights just as they turned red, and pressed the accelerator instead of the brake pedal"

  • "I saw a police car, panicked, and drove on the pavement by mistake."

  • "I was driving along a country road and the pollen from a nearby field made me sneeze and I ended up in a ditch."

  • "The other driver was too busy putting on their make-up to see me coming the other way."

  • "I was practising what I'd do in the event of a car crash, and crashed."
