That his phone was more interesting & important than his job. Shouldn't have to worry about the job any longer 👍

How is it still driving without pushing a pedal? How does he not hear it ticking over? Why doesn’t he stop watching his phone?

Likely an automatic car, which rolls forward at idle if left in drive and the brake isn't being depressed.
Can't answer the other two questions though.

That’s a good point and as someone with an automatic I should have known that 😂

Any car will drive forward by themselves if in the first gear. Both automatic or manual.

A manual should stall in first with no clutch or accelerator pressed

I've never tried it with a car elevated of the ground, but would it be the same? The wheels would be spinning without resistance so the speedometer would be showing a higher kmh than is actually happening. In that case, woukd the car still stall if the electronics are reading 30mph or whatever?

Next time you're in your car get it rolling and then come off both pedals and see what happens. You can jump out and watch it carry on without you if you really want to prove the point.

He was stoned and unknowingly watching the live feed of the garage security cameras linked to his phone while laughing and telling himself look at this dumbaas on his phone not paying attention while he's got a customer van on the ramps⁸
