There is a saying, "what the sober thinks, the drunk says", but what the drunk thinks nobody really knows. We can only recognize what the drunken fools do.
And here's how one of the more imaginative drunk driving and "parking" looks like.
It seems that gods actively watch over the overly "inspirited", since no-one was hurt.

I know the place well, it is the outlet canal from the thermo-power cooling water that join the river maybe three or four meters behind me. I used to go there to photograph gulls, and always wondered why the open part of the canal has no fence, or at least some kind of warning. But then, not many people would decide to go there in the dark (which does not excuse the lack of, say, three or four boards with reflective tape).

Location
This one was made on the left bank of Sava river in Zagreb, where one of the thermo-power plants takes its cooling water. After the water has been used for cooling, it is let out back into the river through this channel...Time
It was about noon, judging from the shadows. Can't be more precise, as it was a long time ago.Lighting
Nothing but Daylight...Equipment
Camera: Olympus IS3000 (35-180mm) shot out of hand. (Archival photo, scanned from Fujichrome Sensia film.)Inspiration
The situation was inspiration enough, after making sure no-one was left stuck in the wrecked car...Editing
The slide had to be scanned and the file was optimised the best way I could, since the scanners in those days weren't quite what these are today. Otherwise, it is pretty much in full format.In my camera bag
To me it is easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. So I load my photo vest with whatever I might need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The vest's many pockets usually contain two cameras, spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small photo clamp instead of a tripod. Sometimes I'll include a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. The vest has large-lens pockets that holds a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate if I plan on being out for the whole day. There is about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. With these, much can be "mcgyvered" along the way, so that's all I need. Recently I make it even more comfortable for me, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch. Simplicity and comfort; two best ingredients in most situations!Feedback
Beside the usual "ALWAYS HAVE A CAMERA AT HAND", there would hardly be any sensible advice re something similar. No photographer would ever miss such a scene, so it goes without saying.
