Remember to use your parking brake.

I thought this would be appropriate since it looks like a 2nd gen Tacoma.
Edit: I hope this isn't a double post..

it looked to me like he saw it rolling tho

 

x2 fail lol

 

Indeed.

 

The saddest part of it though, isn't the epic fail, but the utter destruction of a rare, beautiful Indigo Ink due to stupidity...

 

Dont care about others that reads any single post on this board and complain about double posting.

Thanks for posting! Had not seen that before.

 

holy hell! sad, funny and face hand all at once!

 

who cares guys lol i hadnt seen it and others probably havent either...it will just fade into the never-ending black hole of posts eventually anyway haha

 

thats the point of tw right!?

 

Sad, but still funny... Especially the dangling headlight.

I had not seen it before either.

 

That is some funny shit .... as long as it is not mine ... .ya-ikes!

 

I learned in Driver's Ed, In texas it is illegal not to use your parking brake

If i was a cop in a terrible mood, i think that'd be the easiest way to give out tickets lol

 

This is the winning post.

If you read your user's manual, you will notice that Toyota clearly states as one of steps to properly park the vehicle, you ALWAYS set the parking brake. If you do not, you are doing it wrong.

This takes a lot of stress off the parking pawl in the transmission - especially if your vehicle is parked on an incline. This decreases stress on the entire transmission. If you don't use your parking brake and have early transmission problems, now you know why.

The video above is repost # 4983546 and is obviously insurance fraud.

 

definitely a re-post but if I'm not mistaken the guy did that to get out of payments and claim it through insurance...or something like that...

cause you notice he ran out of that door so quickly jumped in the truck and drove right out of the parking...F*CK!NG INS. Fraud bastards...and they wonder why premiums go up...

 

I have lived in Texas all my life (mostly in Houston) and have never heard that. Doing a quick Google search came up with nothing. I seriously doubt that it is a law to set your parking brake.

 

I am a Texas Peace Officer. I am getting off work and just checked my ticket system and there is a citation for "No Parking Brakes" but I dont know if thats for not using or not having. There is also a ticket for "parked without stopping engine"
