So I’m in the back seat next to the driving instructor’s hot niece, a student driving and the instructor riding shotgun. Sedan, auto transmission sunny day with a/c on full blast. The car was modified with a brake pedal having been installed in the shotgun seat. Which I thought was a good idea.

Anyway, the driver is pulling up to the red stop light of a pretty busy intersection but she didn’t seem to be slowing down. Instructor yells stop! Of course he’s leaning on his pedal and the student yells, ‘It won’t stop!’

Instructor reaches over slams the shifter into neutral and yanks on the wheel to direct the car over the curb into the parking lot of a 7-11. The car comes to a stop.

Sure enough, the brakes had gone out. I’m thinking, cool! The driver was crying and shaking like crazy, the instructor was white as a sheet while the hot niece slept through almost the entire event, having been jolted awake by the car going over the curb.
