FLINTSTONE WANNABE TRIES TO STOP CAR WITH FEET

A FRED Flintstone wannabe has been busted for trying to use his feet to brake his pickup on a busy highway. As you can see, he wasn't very successful.


We'd agree with Roseville Police Deputy Chief James Berlin  called it a case of "moronic decision-making,"
He told The Detroit News the man rolled about two miles on Groesbeck Highway while sticking his feet outside his truck in attempts to stop it, hitting four vehicles along the way.
And guess what, he was unable to stop the truck at a red light and hit two vehicles, Berlin said.
But instead of learning his lesson he carried on driving and hit two more at another intersection.
He said the driver was finally stopped when an officer caught up with him and told him to put the truck in park.
He added: "I just can't believe anybody would think for a second they could make it home using their feet as a brake."
Thankfully no one was injured but the man received a citation for reckless driving. Berlin said the man passed field sobriety tests, but his driver's license also was suspended at the time of the accidents.
He faces charges of reckless driving and driving with a suspended license.
Berlin said: "It's so stupid, it's comical. But it could have been very tragic."
