Maybe he wasn't wearing the right shoes. I've heard that you get better stopping power with sneakers.

What's worse is he planned on driving (With a suspended license) the car to work the next day.

"I don't need no steeenking license"

(Good thing too because Stinking, sure describes his driving record)

The good news is nobody got seriously hurt.. I know a story much like this with a somewhat different ending.. (The guy he it did not make it).
