Driver reverses car into river in E China - hitting motorcycle on the way<br/>Always apply the handbrake when parking. And make sure you check your gear before pressing the accelerator. Two fundamentals of driving, which a man in Yangzhong city of east China's Jiangsu Province forgot on Saturday – to his cost. The driver, surnamed Zhang, stopped to greet a friend and stepped out of his vehicle without properly parking it. His car slowly began to roll backwards towards a river, but Zhang was close enough to prevent disaster. He rushed back to the vehicle, climbed inside and pressed the accelerator – but the car was in reverse gear. Perhaps he meant to push the brake or thought the car was in first gear, but the result was a car striking a motorcyclist before plunging into the river. Luckily, the motorcyclist did not sustain any injuries from the collision. And the water was not deep, so Zhang was able to escape from the river with only his pride – and his car - damaged.
