he did manage to get his signal on

My sentiments exactly.

lol, this reminds the time my car got hit. Was in a radio shack with my buddy and we started hearing some bad noises outside, looked out the store window and saw this suv with one door open going about 10mph across the parking lot hitting shopping carts and lurching over those cement parking things.

He started from all the way from the other side and I watched in slow motion horror as he made a direct line to my car and plowed into it. If I had hadn't just stood there like an idiot I might have moved my car, but in retrospect he would have ended up going through the big plate window and into the Radio Shack.

So many cars and he had to choose mine.

Turns out he was on crutches and had wedged one of the crutches into the accelerator. He panicked and didn't think to simply just TURN OFF the car!

1. Oh that's not so bad, just nudged the fence...
2. Hey you should really just get in the car and step on the brake...
3. Oh he stopped it anyway...
4. WHAT THE HECK?

What happened between steps 3 and 4?

That is why some cars have a kill switch near the steering wheel.

I like to call it the panic button.

I found that if you hit the kill switch on certain GMC model trucks, they wont turn on ever. Until you hit the kill switch again.

I wish the driver had a kill switch.

rychan, I think maybe he finally got into the car but pushed the accelerator instead of the break. Really stupid, but so was not getting into the car in the first place. As if you can pull your car to a stop.

It had my upvote at the gate. The rest was a pleasant surprise!

lucky his leg didn't get run over...
because then he'd be on crutches.
GOTO dcmisha's comment.

Civilization can build cars for you, but not running over yourself is up to you!

God I hate people who signal for a turn then keep on going.
