Talk about getting taken for a ride......

My dad pushed a car through a set of lights in Chicago a few years. The gal was sitting at a red, with my dad behind her, apparently she was distracted, light went green, she rolled back into his bumper...he didn't see her, shoved her through the light and about 15-20 feet or so...
He said when smoke (from her tires, brakes locked) came up over the hood, he stopped and she pulled over to the curb. He about shiznit himself, he thought she'd already driven away lol.
Didn't hurt her car at all, except for grinding off a bit of tread, probably.
A set of econopoopster brakes won't hold back 1,200 feet-pounds of torque, lol
He got a coupla tickets for it, but nothing serious. He had to go to court over it, I guess she ended up with a ticket as well.
He said the cop that investigated it was writing her ticket, when this gal laid down on the ground and said her neck hurt.
Anyway....it don't pay to eff around with semi truck...a fully loaded rig will weigh 80,000 pounds. A little more than most cars will hold up, lmao
