Yabba Dabba D’oh!

The local newspaper dubbed a man “Fred Flintstone” after police in Roseville, Mich., arrested the 24-year-old for driving his car without brakes. The man figured he could just stop his car when needed by dragging his feet on the pavement. It didn’t work: he couldn’t stop at a red light and crashed into four cars. The resulting charges include reckless driving, and driving with a suspended license. The unnamed man “will face a judge in September, to explain his moronic decision making,” said Roseville Deputy Police Chief James Berlin. (RC/Detroit Free Press) ...Dont worry: the judge knew it was a dangerous job before he took it.
