Most people would stop driving their car when the brake failed, but not this Fred Flintstone-wanna be: he tried to use his feet instead.
Roseville Police arrested a 24-year-old man Wednesday who tried to use his feet to brake his moving car and failed, hitting four cars along the way.
The Fred Flintstone wannabe, a roofer from Warren, was driving on a suspended license and was cited for Reckless Driving in the incident, in which police said he was completely sober, just “overly tired.”
He “will face a judge in September, to explain his moronic decision making,” said Deputy Chief James Berlin in a statement.

Hold on. How do witnesses know he was checking his brakes? And if his brakes did fail then he didn't stop did he? So how do the witnesses come up with the idea that he "stopped to check his brakes"? It's not that I doubt that this accident happened, but I do think that either the witnesses are idiots or the author of the story is as dumb as the driver.
Congratulations Steve and Brian.
Jim, even if you didnt get the printer it looks like you won already, congrats.
But seriously... A rubber duck!
Sure, it's a "celebrity" rubber duck. From a 20 year old movie.
I didn't expect a big prize... I did expecta little more than a rubber duck which can also be found at my local 99 cent store.
Indeed, I was going to comment on how long before someone starts crying about what they received. Sounds like jealousy envy to me, perhaps they shouldn't have the pictures of the big winners.
Brian it looks like youre an actor on the set of a television show or film that takes place in a generic windowless office
