Apparently the driver misunderstood the meaning of off-road. ;)

I wonder how old the driver was, my guess: 16 or 72.

Honestly this should NEVER happen in a modern vehicle. Keep your damn foot on the brake pedal until you see the reverse camera on the screen and check it (then check the mirrors). Simple.

Usually it's Altimas or GMC landbarges driving into buildings here in SC... Although there was that one Mustang that turned a Dollar General into a drive-thru. Those are usually crowd-eaters.

It's almost weekly here.

some people panic and stab their foot to the floor thinking they're on the brake. much like a person on a motorcycle/dirtbike whiskey throttling. just the way some people are wired
happens more often then you think would be possible, person thinks they're in reverse looks over their shoulder or in the rear view and takes foot off brake and onto gas and gets startled that the vehicle moves forward instead of backwards and boom panic sets in and foot goes to the floor.


i don't disagree, a lot of accidents could be avoided if those type of people weren't on the road. same with the little old ladies who cant see over the steering wheel doing 30 below the limit without a care in the world for what's around them on there way to get some tapioca pudding before bingo.
Bro I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you will be old some day and its a lot sooner than you think. No amount of arrogance or cockiness will change that, unless you end up killing yourself driving like an idiot.

Ummm, okay.....not sure where you saw arrogance or cockiness.....me getting old and possibly also being a shitty driver doesn't change what I said, there's a lot of old people who shouldn't be driving and there's a lot of young people that shouldn't be driving. I personally think old people should be retested periodically to ensure they're fit to drive, myself included when I get old.

I still do not see how someone could go that far that fast after mistakenly putting it in drive instead of reverse. Were they going to floor it in reverse also ?
An old lady ran into my mothers salon. She went forward into the building, then backward across the parking lot, over a curb. Then forward into the building again.
Never underestimate stupidity.

Was Rudy Guiliani inside? I hear there's a rash of people trying to get to him associated with a Bronco.

That's not so much stupidity as outright incapacity to drive - an inability to process what's going on and respond appropriately and quickly. Fortunately our respective families were able to stop my elderly father and FIL from driving before it was too late, because they were going in that same direction.

Sorry -- I overreacted. Sure there is a point when an older person shouldn't be driving, but who causes the most accidents? Here is a big hint, who pays the highest insurance rates? Why do rental cars have a minimum age limit and not a maximum age limit? If its about safety, only old and married people should be allowed on the road.

In my experience, If you have reckless or careless driving habits, they do not go away just because you get married. I just know too many people where marriage changed little about their driving habits.

I don't disagree, but the insurance rates are based on statistics.

Statistics are only useful if the data used is accurate. One day we will have an awakening that what has long been presented by Insurance companies and accepted as established fact has never been based on any real comprehensive data but assumptions. There is little reason for Insurance Companies to be accurate as their profits are guaranteed by the state.
