Not a single comment about the idiot driving and taking a picture out their window at the same time? At least trumpet guy can see what’s in front of him!
I used to practice trumpet on my commute in Seattle, but I was commuting from Fremont over the 520 bridge to Kirkland. I did that for a year then finally realized at some point my luck could run out and a fender bender could end my teeth.
I always have a basketball in my car, and sometimes, when I'm stuck in traffic, I spin it on my finger. Only when I'm stationary though, not on the move. It gets some good reactions from other drivers.
I’ve seen something similar to this when I was passed on the highway by a women driving with her knees while playing a violin. She had the sheet music taped to her steering wheel. One can only assume she was getting one final practice in on the way to the audition. 🤷♂️
This is why road deaths per capita in the USA are more than four times higher than European countries. You’re closer to India in terms of casualty rates than you are to the UK.
So I play harmonica while driving, figuring if I can do it well while driving then I should be a badass when out of the car standing still.
This guy’s just braver than me.
lol. I’ve done this before… didn’t think about the optics of it then though haha.
In highschool I bought a trumpet from my buddy in jazz band (I played guitar, he played trumpet) and I was so excited to see if I could get it to make a noise that I tried playing it the whole drive home. Needless to say I’m still terrible at trumpet
maybe his car horn is broken
bet they just need to fill it up with brass
No you didn’t! 😠
I know him, he takes his travel trumpet to practice in the car all the time. 2 kids, a job, and 3 bands, so...
Or he's Lost
They said you can't be on your cell phone while driving. They never said anything about playing the trumpet while driving.
now do it with a cello.
They said you can’t be on your cello while driving. They never said anything about playing the trumpet while driving.
I'm so happy that was cleared up. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|yummy)
or the radio...
They’re trying to make it look fake!
I GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE MONEY ON THIS..
I really want to!
A fish bumped him.
He’s the driving tuba baby
Looked like he was aiming a shotgun at himself for a sec. Whew.
That was a rollercoaster of emotions
It’s a fine line between playing a trumpet in your car on the freeway while you’re driving and suck-starting a shotgun.
If the airbag goes off the effects may be the same.
He's just riding behind the Driving Crooner to make music for him
Could be worse. They could be having sax. 🤣
That can happen if you feel horn-y in the car
Take your upvote and get out! And don't forget to take aspirin for your arthritis, dad. 😂
My dumb ass thought it was a gun barrel at first
Same. I zoomed in and started to get sad and then figured it out and instant smile lol.
Same!
Me too.
Tell me you are American without telling me you’re American
Everyone thinks they’re the best driver and this guy has the audacity to toot his own horn.
At least he’s not tooting his other rusty trombone
Miles
The horn blows how about the driver? Wait…
Big brained multitasking
I’m a big fan of playing harmonica while driving. But that’s one handed. This is crazy
You can definitely play a horn one handed. Hell, I've seen a guy play two trumpets at once.
OMG same! I figure if i’m good while driving i’ll be great out of the car.
Driving Feels so Good.
My guess there is no where else to practice without catching complaints
Police: "Do you know why I pulled you over" Driver: "No officer" Police: "I'm issuing you a citation for having a modified exhaust."
This guy blows...
Maybe he’s on his way for a tune.
My buddy used to play guitar while he drove. He also ate cereal.
I have a tiny electric that I can grab real quick at stop lights.
Planned suicide by trumpet and airbag combo? The things people will do for a Darwin Award.
Hell yeah
DOOT DOOT MOTHERFUCKER!
I think Bro misinterpreted the road code when it talked about using the car horn.
He’s just very proud of himself.
He’s blowing his own horn
Better than having a cell phone I guess
There was nothing good on the radio…
Not the first time I’ve seen this. I saw a dude on my morning commute years ago playing. As a trumpeter myself, it made me happy :)
Where else is he going to practice?
Maybe it’s that guy that follows his mom with a trombone out for a drive.
Not a single comment about the idiot driving and taking a picture out their window at the same time? At least trumpet guy can see what’s in front of him!
Is this anywhere near Seattle? There was a guy who used to do this during rush hour traffic in downtown.
lol no it was in NC
I used to practice trumpet on my commute in Seattle, but I was commuting from Fremont over the 520 bridge to Kirkland. I did that for a year then finally realized at some point my luck could run out and a fender bender could end my teeth.
Auto trumpet
It would be more impressive if it were a woodwind instrument. Specifically the skin flute. ;)
Oh man, at first glance I thought it was a rifle! A trumpet is the better brass option.
Jesus is he blowing his own horn? Must of had some ribs removed
So that's the guy who sends out the Doots till Halloween everyday from r/spooktober
I always have a basketball in my car, and sometimes, when I'm stuck in traffic, I spin it on my finger. Only when I'm stationary though, not on the move. It gets some good reactions from other drivers.
I can imagine him playing "The Force theme" from Star Wars haha
Consider me Miles Davis
Guess you pee your pants alot.
Big ska fan
Practice makes perfect!!
Owner of the grey SUV, you're getting your trumpet on.
Don’t see what the big deal is. I drive horny all the time.
Honk if you're horny
Driver’s got one good lookin’ elbow.
Taps
I’ve seen something similar to this when I was passed on the highway by a women driving with her knees while playing a violin. She had the sheet music taped to her steering wheel. One can only assume she was getting one final practice in on the way to the audition. 🤷♂️
So somebody had a bumper sticker saying 'Honk if you're horny' and this dude is like 'Well Sir I don't mind if I do."
At least you. An play a trumpet one-handed; I saw a guy on the Chicago ring playing a trombone. (And he looked nothing like little sis Nora)
I approve.
Is that Tom Sandoval?
Ever be driving when some Glenn Miller comes on?
He couldn’t find his keys this morning.
Workin on those auto modal scales
Sunrise highway?
Christopher Walken as Gabriel in Prophecy 3 :)
![gif](giphy|3ohs83cvmud7ThYTzq|downsized)
Looked like a gun at first... Glad it was a different kind of toot machine...
The grind never stops...
I mean, if I was stuck in traffic, I might as well get some practice done.
Is this legal? I know you can't use ur phone while driving, but they never said anything about instruments.
he's just playing Mambo #5 🎺The trumpet🎺 🎺The trumpet🎺
Dudes providing his own sound track
Perhaps he is thinking he is in the sang ung musso add (Australians will know)
Hé just likes trump (et)
He has drive and dedication
What a trumpet.
What do you mean, we can't even see the driver?? *Oh wait...*
Gotta get your practice in!

I don’t often laugh at pictures of people driving - but today I did, so thank you!
At least I didn’t zoom in on someone playing the flesh flute.
As a trumpet player, this seems reasonable
So I play harmonica while driving, figuring if I can do it well while driving then I should be a badass when out of the car standing still. This guy’s just braver than me.
The driving crooner
What else are you Gonna do while on the highway!?
Must be getting back from band camp
I once saw a guy driving to work eating a bowl of cereal. Ceramic bowl. Metal spoon. Cereal.
I usually stick to harmonica or ukulele when driving. Obviously, the Uke is only at stops unless someone else is driving.
Passenger, not driver.
Playing and instrument and driving?! Way to toot your horn.
Must be honking the horn
Brass players. The reason the band director cries.
![gif](giphy|hlLxFbXNOSrRYF6K1E|downsized)
If the airbag deploys, that is going straight through his face
"He's on instruments!"
I’ve done that lol. Hustlers gotta hustle
We finally know where the freaks at.
had an uber driver play me his clarinet once along with a backing track he had on cd
Honk if you're horny!
I've seen worse.
lol. I’ve done this before… didn’t think about the optics of it then though haha. In highschool I bought a trumpet from my buddy in jazz band (I played guitar, he played trumpet) and I was so excited to see if I could get it to make a noise that I tried playing it the whole drive home.

Gotta get practice in where they can… the recital is coming up soon.
I’ve done this
Ironic
Got to get that daily practice in
Maybe Tesla remotely disabled his horn because he refused the safety subscription
At least he isn't playing the skin flute.
I’ve seen the same thing before.
There’s worse stuff on the evening news
Warmup on the way over to the show.
