Woman crashes teaching dog to drive
2006-08-29
A woman in Hohhot, the capital of north China's Inner Mongolia region, crashed her car while giving her dog a driving lesson, the official Xinhua News Agency said Monday. No injuries were reported although both vehicles were slightly damaged, it said.

The woman, identified only be her surname, Li, said her dog "was fond of crouching on the steering wheel and often watched her drive," according to Xinhua. "She thought she would let the dog 'have a try' while she operated the accelerator and brake," the report said. "They did not make it far before crashing into an oncoming car." Xinhua did not say what kind of dog or vehicles were involved but Li paid for repairs.

Shaddup and sitdown. I need no backseat drivers! Remember, my breed is called "BOXER" for a reason...

#6  This reminds me of a Gary Larson cartoon I can't find anymore, neither through google or on my PC where I thought it was: a police officer arresting a guy letting his dog drive, and who sez to him "what do you think I am, crazy? Sure, I let him drive from time to time, but he's never, never off the leash!".
