> “Thompson reached into the vehicle and pressed brake with his right foot, keeping his other foot on the floor,” the plaintiff summary says. “He pressed the start button. When the vehicle did not start, he took his foot off the brake and depressed the clutch pedal. He again hit the start button. This time the Jeep started. He removed his foot from the clutch, still standing outside the vehicle. The vehicle lurched forward.” > Thompson told authorities that he did not have a driver’s license, records show, and he did not know how to operate vehicles with manual transmissions. The 19-year-old also said he’d never taken a driver education class or been taught how to use stick shift vehicles. So let's see: * Dealer hires tech who obviously doesn't know how to drive stickshift, and doesn't even know how to DRIVE in general. * Tech does something stupid with vehicle and kills another person. * It's the vehicle owner's fault What? I'd turn right around and sue the dealer for obvious negligence in safety and hiring practices that resulted in the destruction of his car.
