On May 9th, in the streets of Jinan, Shandong, a car parked illegally on the road caused a traffic jam.

When questioned by the traffic police, the female driver stepped on the gas pedal to demonstrate, but the vehicle didn't move, with the engine just revving. The police quickly identified the issue: the car was left in Park mode.

As the police prepared to issue a penalty, the female driver refused to accept it, arguing, "I stepped on the gas, and the car didn't move. Isn't this a malfunction?" The police responded, "This is due to your unfamiliarity with operating the vehicle."

Perplexed, the police asked, "You are the one driving the car, don't you know which gear it's in?" The female driver replied, "I was playing with my phone at that time, how would I notice which gear it was in."

The female driver claimed to have had a driver's license for six years but had never actually driven a vehicle. Before leaving, she left a parting remark, "You might see me again next time."

The police, feeling helpless, responded, "Practice driving properly; we don't want to see you again." s_da143814e7c3475db6086c42b45e6d48.jpg
