Bizarre Photos That Will Make You Look Twice

7. At Least They Tried to Make It Look Legit

This might be the most creative attempt we have seen to fix a broken taillight. Red duct tape is common, but this solution takes things to another level. While a red plastic bottle technically covers the taillight, it is unlikely to light up when the brakes are pressed. Instead, it would probably just confuse other drivers. The ingenuity behind this repair deserves both praise and caution. While using a red bottle as a taillight cover shows impressive resourcefulness, it is hardly safe. This solution demonstrates the lengths people will go to follow the rules, even if the result is far from legal. You can almost hear the thought process: "It is red, it is see-through, it fits—good enough!" Sometimes, good intentions and questionable fixes lead to compliance, even if the outcome is not practical or safe.
