I am sure this happens many times a day around the world. This type of parking, facing the business should not be allowed unless there is a strong barrier between the curb and the business. Try not to sit in a window seat when visiting establishments where this could happen. It just may save your life.

This is the best thing I have seen in the news in a long time.

How does this sort of thing even happen?

A short circuit occurs in the brain and driver puts it in "drive" rather than "reverse" and then MASHES the accelerator rather abruptly.

Um....Thats one way to show your displeasure with the cost of a cup of coffee.. Given the state of the economy, how can we afford to buy from Starbucks?

Yours is showing. Not that you have to be wealthy to buy from Starbucks, but you get the point.

Late for the bloggers coffee or just wanting to get a good seat for the next one? Always thought those things were dangerous. Coffees, not Hondas.
