You know.. I'm always paranoid I'm going to do exactly that when I pull in to one of those things.. better to be paranoid than overconfident I guess.

I always wondered why they trusted people enough to drive their cars into those bays.

Didn't Woody Allen do something similar in an old movie of his? Giving directions to some stranger backing a vehicle until it crashes into another parked vehicle?

I don't take directions from people making minimum wage.

Where I live the places like this, Valvoline, Jiffy Lube ect.... the owner drives their own car into the bay.

The few times I have taken my cars to places I have been paranoid of doing this but that is why I always go slow and take a wide swing coming in so I can be straightened up before my wheels get to the opening.

If you can't drive over a pit, then you probably should'nt be driving...



However, the incompetant monkey with the hand signals, was also a failure in his other job duties. Pits have grates to cover them. The grates are to be on at all times. Basic safety 101.

Also, when the driver guns into a bay like that... shouting STOP! would be the proper response.

As you can imagine, these shops have an extremely high turnover rate.


As a side note, I can't recall seeing a pit that didn't have side rails all the way around to prevent this sort of thing. Of course, they aren't bulletproof either. The grates are a secondary measure.

Yet another bit of proof that more and more common people are becoming COMPLETELY helpless.

If you can admit to yourself that the "average joe" on the street has the mentality of a 4th grader...........it all makes sense!!!

I was about to post this but did a search and found that would have been a dupe.

GREAT VIDEO!
