Automatic car features are supposed to make life easier for motorists, but they may be leaving some people without the know-how to do things the old-fashioned way. That?s what happened to a driver in Utah County who became trapped inside her own car.

A woman called Orem police Friday afternoon needing help because her battery died and she was locked inside her car.

When police arrived, they found the woman sitting in the car, unable to get herself out. She couldn?t hear the officers instructions through the rolled-up windows so she motioned to them to call her on her cell phone, according to police.

Once officers were able to talk to the woman on the phone, they were able to tell her how to manually operate the slide lock mechanism on the inside door panel to open the door and free herself.

?I'm just glad she had a cell phone to call for help,? an officer said.

I wonder if she was a blonde :) :laugh:

Wow. It was funny when the Family Guy did it, but I can't believe this is for real...

People don't always lock the doors while inside.

Cops should have looked and then left without doing a thing. We need to weed out the chaff so they dont reproduce! :)

but at some point in her life she had to have been in a car that autolocks, and in which case you have to unlock the door yourself!

she must have been hammered...or dumb.

how has she managed to get this far in life without stabbing herself in the face while tying her shoes? i keep reading the article looking for 'shens' incorporated in some clever fashion but it's just not there. if i'd read this without having somewhere to post about it i'd probably have a stroke on the toilet tomorrow morning over the sheer stupidity involved.
