Strange and funny street view finds
Google Street View is not only very useful for virtually strolling through cities - it also offers a lot of fun finds that were captured during the photo tours. We have put together 15 curious examples for you.
1.Lada in Saint Petersburg
This Lada driver once again proves that Russian drivers are not very squeamish. Despite the lack of tires and many scratches on the body, he is still on the road - hopefully on the way to the next workshop.
2. Desert trip in Africa
These three young men from Botswana are helpful. When the street-view car gets stuck in the sand, you help actively and push the car.
3. Milkman in trouble
It is doubtful whether the drivers of Google cars are so helpful: in the milk products that this Brazilian had just dropped, only the tire marks can be seen.
4. Prague accident crossing
Even small crashes are not uncommon in Google Street View. At this intersection in Prague, however, the accident rate seems to be particularly high - to the dismay of the traffic signs.
5. Scrap dealers on a courageous search
This Romanian shows full commitment in the search for usable objects in the dumpster. The horse can take a short breath before the goods are transported away.
6. To Go bicycle tire
This young man from Hungary apparently has no confidence in his two-wheeler. He has an extensive spare parts warehouse with him.
7. Bicycle Erlkönig?
This picture, which shows a Slovak cyclist, is also interesting. However, Google did not make him unrecognizable, but his bike. Perhaps a prototype that may not yet be shown publicly?
8. Seagull chasing food
Apparently this cheeky bird from England also wanted to take part in the Google Street View project. He proudly shows his food at the camera.
9. Death on wheels
Even this skeleton cannot miss the chance of the photo appointment. Apparently it is returning with its vehicle from the nearby supermarket.
10. Group photo
Although Google cars take pictures all over the world, they are practically never seen by yourself. Actually a pity, this fleet probably thought when it left Madrid - and spontaneously took a group picture.

Whether gangsters with guns drawn, robbers fleeing or drug deals: there are many criminal offenses to be seen on Google Street View. On the other hand, this Pennsylvania woman is still committing a rather harmless crime.
12. Sex doll
As a party gift or for stag or hen parties, inflatable sex dolls are a bestseller. Why this man carries such a sex doll through the streets in the middle of Paris is still unclear to this day.

In the United States, a young deer wanted to cross the street right in front of the street-view car. If you click on the country road it gradually becomes clear that the deer did not make it across the road unscathed.
14th pee break
Google Street View is full of people who make their bladder easier in public. These three Frenchmen chose the most inappropriate place: They stopped in the middle of the highway for a short pee break.
15. Marriage proposal
In California, not far from Google headquarters, numerous people were waiting for the Street View car. Among them was an American who used the photo session for a marriage proposal of a different kind.
