Default haha viper driver = asshat

Domel lost control of his car as he shifted from second to third gear after negotiating his turn, according to the court document. The rear of the vehicle shifted - prompting a product-liability lawsuit - and his car slid off the road, onto the shoulder and down a slope, where it hit a berm some 10 to 20 feet from the roadway, the record said.

http://www.dailynews.com/antelopevalley/ci_3335378

so this drunk shitty driver is suing dodge cuz he can't control his
car?!?!

Haha, what a bunch of BS. Typically the usa, sueing a company cause you can't control an car whilest being drunk. In a normal country someone that admits to be drunk an to be speeding get's a ticket, but nooooo in the usa you get a tap on the shoulder and an extra lawyer so you can make money from a company. shitty laws there images/smilies/rolleyes.gif images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

reminds me of the guy who was driving 75mph in his new motorhome, and he left the wheel and went to the back to make coffee. of crouse the thing went off the road with no one at the wheel and crashed.
the guy sued them since the manual didnt say you couldnt get up and walk to the back to make coffee while driving. he won $1 million and a new motorhome...

Another thing that should be mentioned that the guy used the "auto-pilot" while doing that. He actualy thought that with "auto-pilot" on the car drives it self.

Another story I remembered that a women won a case in suing a microwave owen maker for not including in the manual that "you can't dry your kitten in the microwave after it took a bath"

How do they even think of doing such things.

I don't think we should actively kill stupid people. I think we should just take off the warning labels and let Darwin do the rest.


Seriously, though, that's completely retarded. images/smilies/bangin.gif

Urban legend, nobody ever sued anyone for that and it's debatable whether it actually happened or not.

That's dumb..trying to blame some company/farm for poor road upkeep whilst drunk? Hope he gets it in the end
