Woman Runs Over and Kills Her Mother
 
http://www.theprovince.com/news/Surr...574/story.html

:facepalm:

Honestly, how can anyone be so stupid. In the news article is says "It is believed the 36-year-old daughter accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake." If you realize your car is accelerating, wouldn't it make sense to step on the other pedal. Like come on, how long has this stupid cunnt been driving. Honestly, can't tell the difference between the gas and brake pedal. If she is that stupid, she should be banned driving for life.

Now, I wonder if she's going to get jail time. She did kill someone. Even though the media suggests it was an accident. Maybe there's another side to the story on how it happened.

It aint no accident! I smell life insurance fraud

Pedal misapplication is very very common

This is one of those cases. Probably a case of wet shoes and slippery pedals

How dumb would you feel if you caused the death of your mother by running over her? So tragic. That lady is gonna need SERIOUS psychiatric help

This is a real tragedy,” said resident Aaron Whalley. “This is a real nice neighbourhood.”

to imply that the victims were good people and that the daughter probably didn't do it on purpose

Wow the mother was 15 when she had her retard daughter who could not understand brake and accelerate.

It's like that whole Toyota fiasco with cars accelerating out of control. All the incidents were found to be driver error. One thing I've learned about our population is to not give it too much credit. Stupid people are out there, and there's a lot of them.

wheres the "shes driving straight to the kitchen" jokes?

Some people are just bad when it comes to stuff like this.

We had a company go-kart event last week, and one of the women does have a driver's license, but she had the hardest time trying to adjust to the fact that braking in the go-kart is with the left foot...

I thought Canada's Worst Driver is fake??.. how is it even possible for those people to pass the drivers license exams?... (unless the people on Canada's worst drivers, dont actually have their licences)

How do people in Richmond pass the drivers license exams?

She drove through the wall of her house? I dont understand how that happens. If you are leaving ur house, u would have the car in reverse and slowly back up, not slam on the pedal.

If you're coming into your garage, wouldn't you be driving kind of slowly...not flooring it? And when you go to stop, do u just automatically stomp the brake pedal to the floor?

I dunno, maybe I'm doing something wrong...I just make sure I press the pedal that I painted red when I want to stop...works for me

Ford_Fanatic 03-09-2011 04:56 PM

Mother = accident
Mother-in-Law = intentional

:D

Really? ALL the incidents? More like most of them. Or would you call a floor mat or sticking throttle pedal "driver error"?

Unfortunately in this case the driver error would be compounded by the fact this particular Land Rover has very poor pedal placement making it much easier to hit the wrong pedal.

And I doubt she had time to hit the brakes. If you hit the gas 10 feet from the wall you're going to hit the wall no matter how fast you slam on the brakes.

She obviously thought flooring it through the house would get her to the kitchen quickly.

Edit: Just saw Chronix's post :fullofwin:

StylinRed 03-09-2011 11:31 PM

i found the story unbelievable and thought foul play was @ play... then i found out it was a chinese driver

such a shame :( rip

slammer111 03-10-2011 02:22 PM

You can bet that the driver who did this will gladly voluntarily take herself off the road for a long time, if not forever. Very stupid and unfortunate accident.

fliptuner 03-10-2011 02:30 PM

What's scary to me is that I'd bet she'll be on the road in under 2 weeks.

Culverin 03-10-2011 03:06 PM

And that I'm in sitting on a scooter sharing the road with these people.

Edit:
Imma probably going to die.

AzNightmare 03-10-2011 03:51 PM

People with automatics should brake with left foot and gas with right foot :troll:

But people get their rights and lefts mixed up too, right?

spideyv2 03-10-2011 04:31 PM

the driver recently moved to surrey from richmond :troll:
