Oh carole, I’m blonde too & not young, now I’ve got an excuse I blame the ms rather than age or hair colour, do have bad brain fog sometimes, I always say the dumber blondes are the ones that dye their hair blonde (point this out a lot, usually right as well). Don’t be too embarrassed, you have my sympathy. C
Don’t give it another thought - l doubt you will make the same mistake again. My automatic will not start unless it is in PARK - and l have to put my foot on the brake - then it starts.
A friend of mine was selling his automatic 4x4G Wagon on ebay - he could not get into it as he had broken his hip and pelvis in a
accident whilst on holiday in Thailand. A motorcyclist ran into him.He was on crutches. When the buyer arrived - he got in to start the car - but like you did not have it in PARK. My friend lent in the passenger door to advise him - when he suddenly started it and shot forward - knocking my pal down and fracturing his wrist. The chap cleared off leaving my pal on the drive - he did not take the car - or get an ambulance.
He had to come here for me to look after him - once he was out of hospital. l have a stair-lift and wet-room so well equipped. Since then my friend has successfully taken the chap to court for compensation.
