The DMV Never Forgets ...

Posted by Alex in Baby & Kids, Car & Vehicle on April 27, 2009 at 5:28 pm

Fifteen-year-old Jesse Jakan passed the written exam and taken a driving course, so he was excited to get his driving permit … except for one teeny tiny glitch: he caused a car accident when he was 6, and the DMV never forgets.

Jesse said the DMV asked him if he had ever driven before. He said "No." He said a DMV supervisor then told him he had a driving record and needed to have his license/permit reinstated.

"At the time, I was furious," said Chris Jakan, Jesse’s dad. "I thought it was the most absurd thing I had ever heard."

When Jesse was 6 years old he was playing around in his mom’s car and popped it out of gear. The car rolled down the driveway and crashed into another car.

"This is ridiculous. A 6-year-old should not be held accountable for his actions at that age," said Chris Jakan. "I am just wondering why a 6-year-old would have been ticketed for driving a car when he wasn’t driving. He popped it out of gear by accident."

Good Samaritan Saved People From Being Hit By A Car, Got Jaywalking Ticket

Posted by Alex in Crime & Law on February 26, 2009 at 3:15 pm

Remember the adage "no good deed goes unpunished?" Well, Jim Moffett was helping two elderly women and a man cross a busy Denver street in a snowstorm when a pickup went straight at them – Jim pushed the three out of the way, but got struck himself.

His reward for being a Good Samaritan? A jaywalking ticket:

Family members said 58-year-old bus driver Jim Moffett and another man were helping two elderly women cross a busy Denver street in a snowstorm when he was hit Friday night.

Moffett suffered bleeding in the brain, broken bones, a dislocated shoulder and a possible ruptured spleen. He was in serious but stable condition Wednesday.

The Colorado State Patrol issued the citation. Trooper Ryan Sullivan said that despite Moffett’s intentions, jaywalking contributed to the accident.

Posted by Queuebot in Odd News, World Records on February 14, 2009 at 2:11 am

Lee Redmond of Salt Lake City, Utah, was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest fingernails in the world.  Totalling over 28 feet long, she was once offered $10,000 by a Japanese television program to cut her fingernails:

Redmond’s nails, which hadn’t been cut since 1979, were broken in the crash. According to the Guinness Web site, her nails measured a total of more than 28 feet long in 2008, with the longest nail on her right thumb at 2 feet, 11 inches.

Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Lt. Don Hutson says Redmond was ejected from an SUV in the crash and taken to the hospital in serious condition.

A very brave 9 year old boy carried his friend home after he was injured by a hit-and-run driver in an SUV. This story goes to show that you don’t have to be big and strong to be a hero.

Police said the vehicle stopped long enough for someone to get out, remove the bike from underneath the car, and leave the scene.In the meantime, nine-year-old Ruben Nuncio said he threw his injured friend over his shoulder and carried him home.
