A Car Lands in Chiropractor's Clinic

point

For the second time in four months and the third time since the shop opened Bob Ziegler has had a motorist drive into his clinic. Luckily there were no patients in the waiting room at the time. In both cases the cars were driven by elderly women. The women were not given tickets. Officers have the choice to not write tickets when cars hit buildings. There were no injuries reported. The clinic owner, Bob Ziegler, wants to talk to his landlord about placing barriers in front of the clinic to stop cars.

Drive-through bone-breaking?

Submitted by jdubhub on Fri, 2007-07-20 15:01.

There is one shopping center here in San Luis Obispo that has had something like six cars drive into buildings in the past few years and the property manager is only now getting around to erecting steel poles to protect the businesses and patrons.

It also happened to a store where I worked a few years ago. (I was not on shift when it happened.) Most of the time the driver doesn't have their foot on the brake and, when the car jumps the curb, they panic and slam on the pedal where their foot shouldn't be--the accelerator.

I have heard of cars

I have heard of cars crashing into houses but that can be a very scary thing to be inside of a house or a building and a car crash into it. When you are inside of a home or building that is one of the things you least expect to happen.

I think about the car-crashing-into-the-house scenario whenever I see a house at the Tee of a residential intersection. All it takes is one drunk or druggie failing to stop at the intersection and for the car to jump the curb. If I had to live in a place like that, I would invest in some heavy fencing for around the yard and maybe some trees.
