Braking bad! Hilarious moment woman has to chase her own car down the drive after automatic handbrake fails to work

This is the hilarious moment a woman had to chase her car into the driveway after the automatic handbrake failed to work.

Vicky Lane, 23, had just arrived home from a long day at work on January 2, but as soon as she left her car it started rolling backwards.

The account manager was shocked and did her utmost to prevent the car from rolling onto the road. She almost knocked down a fence in the process.

Vicky, from Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, said: ‘I was just thinking should I run with it or jump on it!

“The only thing going through my mind was my dad telling me to stop if I crashed again.”

After leaving the car, she suddenly noticed it starting to roll in her driveway because the handbrake was not engaged

Luckily, Vicky managed to stop the car before it crashed straight into a wall at the end of the journey and she was fortunately not injured by the events.

She added, “I wasn’t hurt! Just my ego!’

Vicky also admitted that this had happened to her twice before. This happened once in the parking lot of a supermarket.
