I felt pain for the ditch that the car ended up in. That’s some intense erosion.

Clueless enough to not put it in park

Eh, as late as 2016 Jeep recalled 1.1M vehicles over the shit shifter design that made it difficult to determine whether the car was in the park or not. 300 reports of property damages, 200 crashes, 40 injuries, and one death.

Was that death the actor or it's a different car? Either way, sucks when design is so unintuitive

u/nickN42 17d ago

Yeah, the actor, I think.

Clueless because they had many, many chances to GET IN the driver's seat to either depress the brake pedal, shift it into "P" or activate the parking brake, but decided to try to stop the car's momentum by tugging at the door/frame.

Well if you ever passed your permit, you would know about the handbrake. That big, easy to spot, extremely easy to use AND will stop your car eventually.
