A Michigan man was arrested for trying to stop his pickup truck with his foot, police say.
The unnamed 25-year-old Roseville man was arrested Wednesday and cited for reckless driving, the Detroit Free Press reported.
The man told police he was just trying to make it home from work. He knew his brakes didn’t work, so he was stopping his truck with his foot out the door, a la cartoon caveman character Fred Flintstone.
The man was driving on a suspended license.
His foot failed as a brake, however, and the man ran a stop light and hit four cars, WDIV-TV of Detroit reported.
btw – 2.5 miles – 40 mph

About
I’ve had the good fortune to live in many far-away places; from Brazil to Tokyo, from London to the Middle East.
——–
’04 and ’05 I was working in Amman, Jordan; +ten-hour days, seven days a week, eight straight weeks, followed with twelve days off.
Anywhooo, I jus’ by chance happen to hear the Stones: “Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is”
And THEN I realized, NO it’s NOT; so I QUIT, and ended a thirty-five year career in Construction Management.
Since August of 2005, I’ve been living in Chiang Mai (the Rose of the North), Thailand; a.k.a. the Land of Smiles.
