Hello

On the story below.

You would think that she would have
first place her car in park, and set
the emergy brake before leaning down
to pick up her coin change.

I hope she fully recovers and is wiser
from the experience.

Woman, 42, injured at drive-through

The News Journal
November 20, 2008

A 42-year-old woman was critically injured and
taken to Christiana Hospital after an accident
at a McDonald's drive-through window in
Ogletown about 9:45 a.m. Wednesday.

Witnesses said the victim had leaned out of her
vehicle to pick up dropped coins, New Castle
County Paramedics Cpl. Peter T. Small said.
Her vehicle rolled forward after she leaned
out, but it was not clear if she was injured
by the door of her vehicle or by being pinned
between the vehicle and the side of the
building, at Harmony Road and Del. 4,
Small said.

Sounds like she has a valid lawsuit to file, since the McDonalds drive was
obviously either an uphill grade or a downhill grade, which is a big "no no"
and actionable.

Unless she simply took her foot off the brake while it was in "Drive."

YGBSM.

Judging from that speeding ticket you got in Marietta, you drive a
car. You know that with the motor running, hand brake not set and the
transmission in drive, if you take your foot off the brake pedal the
car will roll forward even on level ground. Duh. So the only
explanation for your moronic blather is a serious reading
comprehension problem.

No, I take that back. Even a moron like you can comprehend that much.
You just get your jollies by trolling newsgroups for drive-by
opportunities to drop your turds in the community punchbowl.

Only problem is that you have me confused with someone you did a background
check on. I've never even been to Marietta. Also, I work for your ISP.
