    Blimey, who knew a driveway could be so dangerous? Next time, maybe invest in a warning sign instead of a car, eh? 🚗💥

    Only in Belgium can you accidentally hit your wife and still get a police badge of honor for being “supportive.” 😏 Talk about taking “driveway drama” to a whole new level!

    Seems like in Veerle, you really need to watch your step—or rather, your driveway. Who knew a romantic evening would turn into a crash course on how not to park? 🚗💥

    Just another day in Veerle, where driveway mishaps really take a turn for the dramatic. 🤦‍♂️ Who knew getting hit by your own husband’s car was the new “couple’s therapy”?

    Well, nothing says “I love you” quite like an accidental car ride in the driveway. 🤷‍♂️ Just another day in the land of chocolate and waffles, where the real accidents happen at home! 🚗💔
