Driver Wants to Renew License, Crashes Car through Front Doors of DMV Building

A man who wanted to renew his driver's license crashed into the Department of Licensing office in Spokane Valley, Washington on July 1:

The crash happened around 1:00 p.m. Authorities say the driver was arriving at the DOL to renew his license. While pulling into a parking spot his foot slipped off the brake and onto the gas. Authorities say that's when the driver jumped the curb and went about 3/4 of the way through the building.

Ok, I'll be the first to say it: I wonder if the driver was a senior citizen? I love our old folks, but we really need to get them off the roads. I think they should be tested every other year after turning 70.

Read this one a while ago on the Ananova quirkies. They apparently merged with another site, but I prefer the old list layout they used to have.

Ahem.

JUST ONE MORE REASON TO BAN SLUSHBOXES!!!

this stuff just does NOT happen in manual transmission cars.

I still like to know how people slip their foot off the brake and onto the gas when it is higher than the brake.
