On a somewhat similar note, I nearly ran over some crazy lady walking across a busy street without a signal or anything. It was pretty scary for me, since I'm still learning how to drive.

My dad's friend and his daughter got run over a few months back, some old man just backed over them and dragged them across the entire parking lot before they got dislodged. He then started going forward, and my dad's friend's wife managed to stick her leg in the way (getting that run over in the process) in order to stop the car from running over her husband's head. Fortunately, the husband made a nearly full recovery (still some problems with his arm), and the daughter is perfectly fine now. It just bugs me that the driver got off without so much as insurance problems on account of his age and some lawyer shenanigans.

While I'm at it, my friend's dad got hit by a drunk driver and got permanent damage to his heel. The driver also managed to get away with it because of some depression claim.

/end rant. Crazy idiots should not be allowed to purchase vehicles.
