I seem to recall that motor home manufacturers didn't initially tell drivers that they mustn't leave the driver's seat after engaging cruise control. It was only after someone set cruise control then went out back to make a cuppa, crashed, and successfully sued, did such a statement get included.

I really hope that's an urban myth but I have horrible feeling it's true.

I know with the MacDonalds hot coffee lawsuit the woman was told to sue by some charitable organisation as many people had burnt themselves on their coffee.

So I suspect more than one person had a mishap with cruise control in a vehicle before that person was encouraged to sued.

In this case I don't suspect anyone else has been so stupid yet.....

Not exactly young enough to be so stupid.

If there's one thing this forum has taught me, it's that there is no correlation between age and stupidity.

Do they all still have a phone helpline listed in the instructions? "I've glued my hand to my penis" etc

How does one dial in that situation? Is that what a dictaphone is for?

I bet if she did use a wig she would use gorilla glue.

Reminds me of man who went into wig shop ansd ask how much a wig was. £100 + tax. The man said don't bother with tacks, I willjust glue it on...
