A driver using his feet to stop a vehicle is something you expect to see in the Flintstones movie or a comic strip and not in real life, yet this actually happened when a 24-year-old Detroit-area man literally used his feet to try to bring his runaway truck with faulty brakes to a halt.
The comical scene was captured on police video by a patrol car that had been called in to help. According to the Detroit police, the man was aware of the problem as he had previously stopped to check his pickup but instead of calling for a tow truck, he continued on his way.
To make matters worse, eyewitnesses said the young rocket scientist man had managed to stop the car at least two times but he continued his journey reaching speeds of up to 40mph (64 km/h)! Talk about a reckless driver…
As you can see in the video below, he eventually run out of luck out causing multiple collisions before coming to a complete stop. The police said the man exhibited “moronic decision making.”
The 24-year old man was apprehended for driving on a suspended license and reckless driving.
