Dog Crashes Car While Being Taught How To Drive By Owner
As a purely legal matter, I think she's in the clear, because it was the dog who actually crashed the car.
This happened in China, which is becoming the World's Hyperpower for F'd Up News.
BEIJING --A woman in Hohhot, the capital of north China's Inner Mongolia region, crashed her car while giving her dog a driving lesson, the official Xinhua News Agency said Monday.
No injuries were reported although both vehicles were slightly damaged, it said.
The woman, identified only be her surname, Li, said her dog "was fond of crouching on the steering wheel and often watched her drive," according to Xinhua.
"She thought she would let the dog 'have a try' while she operated the accelerator and brake," the report said. "They did not make it far before crashing into an oncoming car."
Really? A dog's paws couldn't successfully man the steering wheel? A dog, which spends most of its life chasing cars, decided to finally bag its prey and crash into an oncoming car?
What were the odds of a crash here? No higher than one in, oh, say, one.
