No 1 daughter has been added to her Mum's car insurance today (£160) & so has been having a play! Mum went out Wed with her around town, & Dad was volunteered to go on the motorway with her today (Thursday) afternoon.
So .... she went to her boyfriends today & had to drive home in the dark (for the first time)
She arrived home safely, but was stood at the door in tears because there was a red light on the dash & she didn't know what it was, there was a horrible burning/hot smell from the car. As far as she was concerned .... she'd broken Mum's car!
It turned out that her ever helpfull (young copper) boyfriend had put her handbrake on for her and ....... because her Mum & Dad generally use PARK as the handbrake, she'd not thought to look (or phone home) what the red light was on for!
Now I know what cooked brakes smell like! :-? :-? :-?
