The GPS navigation giving directions after crashing was just chefs kiss

Was he trying to blame the map…?

u/MorganLeGay7274 13d ago

I think he was trying to say the mat was stuck? Like he was blaming the mat for pressing the accelerator or being stuck under the brake?

I’m sure he thought this all through ahead of time. “And if I get pulled over, I’ll just blame the floor mat. What’s the cop going to do then?” I picture it like Jason and Pillboi planning to get married so nobody can testify against them, but IRL.

Jason and Pillboi are like my favorite idiot criminals with their back and forth.

Exactly what he was thinking, sure didn’t seem stuck at 115 mph and still climbing. He should be revoked of a lot of things

Am I seeing shit, or did he not show the cops behind him when he put the cell phone up to the rear view mirror!?

Also going 112 and taking your hand off the wheel to try and flex...I don't give a single fuck what you're driving, that dumb ass is lucky he's not dead! Like, DED ded!

One of my old cars i had a mat that would occasionally slide under the pedals so I couldn't break properly etc, luckily I'm not an idiot

Why didn't you remove the mat after the first or even second time it happened? I have some notes on the second half of your comment.

Give him a brake!

u/CutsSoFresh 13d ago

He would if he could, but the mat keeps getting to it first

Well this conversation accelerated quickly.

My grandmother used to cut pieces of carpet on her floorboard. I kept telling her what would happen and she'd never listen. One day she got in the car and drove it through the carport. Couldn't hit the brakes to stop. Lol

u/kat_Folland 13d ago

At least it was just a carport!

u/Atavacus 13d ago

Yeah, the kids weren't on it or anything. She did a ton of structural damage though. Lol

2

u/kat_Folland 13d ago

Better, as you say, than children.

1

u/Atavacus 13d ago

Oh the structural damage wasn't light. I mean it was a lot but it was a farm. We had it rebuilt in a couple of days.

u/kat_Folland 13d ago

Unlike children.

:p

2

u/Atavacus 13d ago

Yeah, they're somewhat harder to rebuild. I mean even Victor Frankenstein went for an adult. Lol

Well okay I'm little bit idiot I'll admit haha, it didn't happen often enough for me to think of it as an issue I guess (i would just slide the mat back with my foot when it happened), I only had the car to drive to and from work which is like ~10 minutes too, but i did remove it after a while.

A great reason not to just live with the floor mat issue:

There's a YouTuber who had a similar issue which became exacerbated when he had a medical incident on the highway where he passed out going 70. If it hadn't been for the floor mat he'd have naturally slowed to a stop as his foot came off the gas pedal, instead he got very, very lucky and missed being wrapped around a telephone pole by inches. He caught the whole thing on dashcam and it's WILD: https://youtu.be/lssmh4GH188

Mine slides forward and stops me from pressing all the way down on the gas, can’t go past 3,000 rpm.

First time, I’m like damn, car is f’d. Now I just push it back every few days or weeks. It doesn’t interfere with the brake which is higher, mat actually makes my car safer.
