Toepoke Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 That's a shame, you do hear about quite a few of these accidents. And as someone with a sloping driveway they are always an eye opener! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapes Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Alpha Dog is a great film, and he's very good in it. Well worth a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, great film, he plays the part well, very underrated film too. Always found it crazy it was allowed to be released before Jesse James Holywood's trial given it was based on that murder. Tragic sounding accident anyway, RIP!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is strange, but without checking, hasn't all other trials taken place, and Hollywood had been missing for some time. Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thistle do nicely Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 The car was supposed to be one that was recalled for similar incidents. This could be pricey when the lawyers get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALBANACH Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I have the same kind of car, the automatic gear lever returns to the upright position when you shift it between Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive and an illuminated letter on top of the lever tells you which you have engaged. It seems that some people have been caught out when putting the car in what they think is Park but it has actually been in one of the others, as the automatic bake will not engage then the car will roll away. I personally always engage the manual parking brake as well when I get out of the car just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
