I'm not sure this would work--and you'd need a tripod, but:
Good: Photo of someone standing on a quiet residential street, obviously out enjoying a walk on a fine spring day. They have paused a moment to close their eyes, raise their arms and take a huge breath of fresh air.
Bad: The camera stays in the same spot on it's tripod. The person likewise doesn't move their feet. Slowly drive a car so that the bumper just touches the person--close enough to lean forward over the hood. Set the apature to about half and the shutter speed to about a second or two. Trip the sutter and have the driver back up out of frame as the pedestrian stands up straight and resumes their previous posistion. With a little luck, it'll look as if you've caught a car accident at the moment of impact.
