A Friendly PSA From Irish.. Turn The Key Back ONE CLICK

It was 35 minutes of sheer terror! A 47-year old Iowa mom hurled down the highway, her Kia Sorrento completely out of control and gaining speed - fast- the accelerator jammed. She drove like this for 35 minutes and no one thought to turn the motor off??

  1. It's crap like this that tells me "Idiocracy" wasn't entertainment, it wasn't even prophecy - it was DOCUMENTARY.

    WE"RE ALREADY THERE!!!!

    NOBODY thought to tell her "turn your key back one click?

    NOBODY?!

  2. We are doomed. Woman, dispatcher, and cop and not one of them thought to turn off the engine. I don't know which is worse, the fact that they get to drive or that they get to vote.

  3. From what I saw on FNC, it was a push button ignition. There was no key to turn.

    1. Thanks for the tip shedmaster. I guess the other alternative was to put it in neutral. Even if you blew the engine in the breakdown lane at least you didn't die in a 95 MPH crash.

  4. I heard the same thing that shed did - BUT - how do you turn off the engine in normal circumstances??? There certainly has to be an 'off' switch if there is an 'on' one!
    BTW - when she finally managed to get the car stopped, the first thing the trooper did was to turn of the engine................
