I think a fear most drivers have is running out of gas in the middle of the road. I mean most of us probably would never let it get that far, but the thought is still worrying.
Well, this worst nightmare came true for a California man. Although, he was not exactly innocent in the situation, as police were following him because the car he was in had been stolen.
The car ran out of gas and a bystander helped the man push the car off the ramp. He ran into a field and police picked him up there.
Let this story be a lesson to never ignore the empty gas light that pops up on your dashboard.
Hey they should’ve been watching for me
Apparently, some people drive into oncoming traffic on purpose with the goal of hitting cars driving toward them.
A girl in Florida has been charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after she was spotted deliberately driving into oncoming traffic, and if that was not bad enough, she was swerving trying to hit other cars.
Yes, that’s right, swerving to hit other cars, not avoid them. She managed to hit an old lady who was driving, who luckily was not hurt, but the girl didn’t even care, even going as far as saying it was their own fault!
It wasn’t me
Imagine sleeping in your house one random night, and all of a sudden a car is crashing through the wall of your guest house. You would be pretty shocked and a little distraught. But then imagine on top of that getting a notice from the city you live in sending you a notice of violation for the destruction the crash caused.
For an unlucky man in Austin, Texas this is exactly what happened to him. He checked his mail a week after someone crashed into his house and found a letter from the city saying he had to fix the hole or else he would be fined $2000.00.
Luckily he spoke with someone in the Austin Code Department and they gave him an extension, but he was not happy with the whole process in general. And you can’t blame him, imagine getting a notice of violation right after your house has been run into!!
