High Speed Car Wash Accident - General

Now this is one way to get publicity! The song just makes this video even better [video=youtube;q7NxL4II_vI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7NxL4II_vI[/video]

Now THAT'S a clean car.

Apparently, viral advertisements have huge budgets these days

According to the description this was due to an elderly driver mistaking the gas pedal for the brakes, but the dude somehow managed to never actually figure out that maybe he should take his foot off the pedal after rampaging through the car wash. How the hell does he have a license?

Even parked inside the lines. What a gent!

I always find the related videos more interesting.

No driving test because the guy at the DMV knew him, and apparently it's up to them whether or not the driving test is actually required.

I guess the driver got in blind panic and froze up not knowing what to do.

I told her myself she doesn't belong behind the wheel.... NOW she drives around with a blue tooth in because she thinks it's "safe" to talk on it and drive. I was scared shitless the last time I visited her and she picked me up at the airport.

yeaaaaaah this man needs his license revoked, it's pretty obvious he's not fit to drive no more

Is it just me or is this how 99% of accidents involving elderly people happen? I don't even think a driving test is necessary.. Just a simple reaction and all around cognition exam every 2 years is all that's needed. The politicians have probably been too scared to make a move because of the large amount of retiring baby boomers that still hold a significant amount of voting power.

At least he went more or less straight down the middle, not crashing into the walls and stuff

How can you fuck up so bad?

Must be revenge for this. [video=youtube;pJ1BnS68YzE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ1BnS68YzE[/video]

Jesus christ, good thing those bushes were there.

Notice the other customer leaving the vacuum area just seconds before this one crashes. We are proud of our staff for their professionalism and amazing responses. We were back up and running in just a couple of days![/QUOTE]
