Hold your Horses!

Unsure his car would start again because of a weak battery, a man in Miami left the car running as he ran into a store to make a purchase. To be “safe,” he parked in a remote area of the lot, locked his car doors, and took the key fob with him. He returned to his car a half hour later to find it being chased by firemen and police. Apparently, his car had slipped out of park, into reverse, and began driving in circles around the parking lot. A policeman was finally able to smash a window, jump in, and apply the brakes.

Look out!
A confused driver trying to return his rental car to an airport rental agency was just following the signs when he drove the car through some large, double sliding entry doors at the new Boise International Airport. After the doors opened when it sensed the motion of his vehicle, the man continued driving until he reached the rental counter—in the middle of the airport’s lobby! No one was hurt and nothing was damaged, so no charges were filed against the motorist. (At least they can’t say he didn’t return the car!)
