this is a really odd story
a uh... amendment frank lesser
he
was driving
and his car got stuck at a hundred twenty five miles per hour
for an our until his car ran out of gas he was near the the french city of onion
and he was making his weekly trip to the grocery store
and he was going sixty miles an hour roughly when the car's speed dial jammed
he tried to break
and instead of slowing down the car sped up each time you tap the break
the car sped up more and more it sounds like some kind of wires recross lewis
uh...
who knows very strange year
strange way they're strange malfunctions tells it
and uh... louis very confused by the story of enjoy the courage to speed of a
hundred and twenty five miles an hour remained stuck there for an hour
uh... frantically he called the police from his car they sent a an escort
vehicles
which kind of uh... cleared the highway he was able to just take the fast lane
they've raised the uh... barriers at tollbooth so that he could just go
through those and eventually
the car ran out of gas
now i had so many questions about this
number one lesser has aloft suit coming up against renault
which should help figure out what exactly what wrong with the machine and
maybe to him
getting a time money it's not clear
and uh... a hundred miles he went let's put up the map baton if we can
of uh... the trip that he made
over one hundred miles before finally he ran out of gas
now a couple of thought your number one
the only reason this would work has to be that european drivers actually stay
out of the fast lane except past in the u_s_ he would have hit
somebody going fifty five you know in in a in a vehicle within like a half-mile
right
so that's question that that that i think your number one but number two
why couldn't you either like put your you break on
or just like
printer are off altogether
or put it in neutral and i guess it you know the engine would overheat or
something but eventually it would do with set itself up for the baby would
explode i'm not sure
what why did you have to drive around and there are other ways to shut the
kara
i would assume so i'd just don't understand and none of the articles i've
read seem to address that possibility
yeah i thought about what i would do it like sela rater got stuck
and number one is i would just pull up fifty break
and number two there were destroyed a turn the car off
uh... and then three would be do something with the with the shifter in
try to get the car in some kind of gear where'd this just uh... we instead with
the madness would stop on a there's like a million comments on this article here
and none of them are about what he could have done to turn the car offer all
talking about highway driving it's just very strangely it almost made me think
that this was an onion story rooted initially but it
there's no evidence that it's uh...
a fake story yeah
seems to be real by right
i don't understand
how this could happen
number one
electronico electronically
or physically with the card
number two i don't understand why is only option was to drive a maximum speed
achille ran out of gas and it just doesn't make sense in you think of
anything that's on that were missing here
all the only thing would be that one i think certainly should be reported on i
can explain that but
in terms of the card occurs to me that may be uh... we were talking about this
during the break like the car has an electric ignition and somehow you can
uh... turn it off for some reason why i mean if that's true that needs to be
modified immediately yes it could be one of those where there's not even really
akita sick if the key is i knew you just press a button on the card turns on and
that i think that i would assume that you probably can turn it off for your
moving
because that's probably just a safety feature right
uh... still
uh... i think he remarking to put it in neutral it's just something about it is
is on the way for you know that you put in neutral wouldn't the engine just
explode willis is that i don't agree with the world
alleles that would explode issue again it depends on your car is
uh... but you don't does if if you had any over revving engine burnout
i don't think it would be like a pyrotechnic action movie vehicle
explosion now i think your engine within three to stress these opportunities up
yeah um...
yeah i mean obviously there's a very high chance with completely destroy your
engine dia
but i think that's better than being stuck driving a hundred twenty five
miles per hour for an hour over a hundred miles out
scored it you are right barry very odd and speaking of vehicles today on the
boat show i will tell the story of being rear-ended yesterday i was in a bit of a
car accident getting into the studio
and has been a bunch of follow-up from and we'll talk about all the details
on the boat is showing you can sign up for that by becoming a member at the the
pacman dot com slash membership
will take a break and next i will debate the executive director
of the libertarian party about
i don't know libertarians wills it added up it'll become a debate
certainly there will be discussions and i have a feeling i will disagree
with a lot of what is being sent by the in any case that's next stay with us and
much more after that
