He turned on the cruise control and left the drivers seat to go back and rest, because he thought the cruise control would drive for him. When it crashed, he sued. He not only won millions, he also was awarded a new Winnabego.
These judges should be shot. There are other judges that push the absolute other way, against the citizen. Yes, these are extremes, but that doesn't mean that a judge wont have a little bit of bias one way or the other.

In November, Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32 foot Winnebago motor home. On his first trip home, having joined the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, the Winnie left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the handbook that he could not actually do this. He was awarded $1,750,000 plus a new Winnebago...

Too bad it's fake.

...despite these stories having been debunked years ago, they not only still circulate, but many reporters, columnists and radio "personalities" still talk about them as if they were true, which says a lot about their professionalism. In many outrageous cases, these lazy "news" people will even link to this site as the source of these silly lies!
