Police in the town of Paw Paw, Michigan, said the unidentified man told them "it was quite a ride", but complained only that he had spilled his soda.

I'd have spilled more than just my soda :blink:

How can you accidently get your wheelchair caught in the grill of a truck whilst passing in front of it?

Lol, the poor guy. All i can think of though is what if the truck had to slam on suddenly (for a deer or something!!) and the wheelchair broke free!:d

PMSL Poor fella, I guess ironically despite being unlucky enough to be wheelchair bound his wheelchair saved his life.

I Did something really stupid and embarresing once in Oxford.

I parked outside a pub on Double yellows...you know how funny they are there about cars.

I kept an eye out to make sure no traffic wardens came and gave me a ticket, but some member of the public came in and said 'Who the hells parked their car on Double yellows outside?' I just thought it was some Green Activist Cyclist type..you do get em!

So I ignored it and carried on with my pint...

I took a peak out of the window and saw a man struggling to get a man in a wheelchair up a steep kerb..he was trying to get the guy in the pub and id parked blocking the 'slight ramp' upto the narrow pavement..

I then went out and apologised and moved the Supra...the two were shouting abuse at me....so i bought em both a drink and had a long chat with em, so much so i didn't notice the traffic warden sticking a ticket on my car..so i guess i got my just deserts lol...never made that mistake again...!:(

Difficult to understand the day to day challenges of wheelchair bound folk..but it made me a lot more aware..and i 'think' a bit more now when parking!
