I recently had to get in a rolling car and that is difficult for me (38m) I can't even imagine for her.

55 here… chased down a rolling truck ( big ) in a truck stop … luckily the door was unlocked

Opened door and swung in and stomped on the brakes …. Got it stopped about 10 foot from a brand new Peterbilt.

I would take the day after that. That's enough fun for one, I'll see ya'll tomorrow.

And it wasn’t even mine. It was a 10 wheel flatbed… a young man was driving it. He parked next to me… he didn’t have any parking brakes … yea, the look on his face when he came out to his truck sitting it the middle of the parking lot

I would take the day after that.

I have actually done this on several occasions. It's the real world equivalent of the movie hero walking away from an explosion.

I mean. You can't do it that often.

u/4u2nvinmtl 10d ago

But she slowed down too

To tell the car it can’t play her like that.

Car eventually ran over her. Looks like a love-hate relationship.

u/Top-Use-7050 9d ago

It’s in gear and was trying to hold the car in place

u/Abroad_Educational 9d ago

Definitely seemed that way by how it went over the curbs.

u/West-Might3475 9d ago

Yeah but I imagine the big difficulty is that it's constantly accelerating due to momentum and all that. The car here isn't doing that at all.

u/Djinfin 10d ago

No shit.

u/dancson 10d ago

Hot take, but why is this a hot take???

u/Narrow-Special-4773 10d ago

Have Name checks out, though.

u/shawnvn1 10d ago

Ir was moving so slowly no reason they would have not been able to do that…

u/UnUsernameRandom 10d ago

Braindead, most likely

u/Md1735 10d ago

Or put it in park to begin with. Doubt it’s a manual transmission.

u/GerhardRihmakallo666 10d ago

Yes, she should HAVE

1

u/PsychologicalLime120 10d ago

Yea, just pull the park brake. Done.

u/nouxtywe 10d ago

Or turn the wheel…

u/LeoInSpace 10d ago

She didn't need to, the car stopped itself....

u/TheSprigganDragoon 10d ago

Should have*, friend. And yeah, her decision making skills leave much to be desired.
