Is it possible that maybe the driver got confused and "accidentally" put it in reverse? I mean....maybe it was a female behind the wheels. HAHA

well he's sitting on the side of a busy street... and if he was confused... (sounded like an elderly man) and accidentally put it in reverse and tried to accelerate quickly to get up to speed with traffic... the force of him unexpectedly flying forward (expecting to be thrown back) would cause him to accelerate more in reverse....

that's what I figured happened

Yep,I've seen an elderly woman run her car thru a door at the oil change place and thru another door at a muffler shop across the street!

Which is another example of why I think elderly people need to take driving tests again once they hit a certain age.

I've said that for a long time... from 16-25 you get license tests every year... then every 5 years from 25-65 from 65-70 every two years... from 70 on every year.

I just got a ticket Saturday night. 65 in a 45 construction zone, the cop was cool and reduced it to 50 in a 45 no construction zone. It's still going to be a $120 ticket..... They don't fuck around in Michigan.

Thank you for taking the words right out of my head! This guy as you will see from time to time is a real douche. He has others of his sort that closely coddle his nuts.

They don't fuck around in any construction zone. No matter the state.
