This story happened a while ago in Brisbane, and even though it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's true. John Bradford, a Sydney University student, was on the side of the road hitch hiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a storm. The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped. John, desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door, just to realise there was nobody behind the wheel and the engine wasn't on! The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road and saw a curve approaching.
Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life. Then, just before he hit the curve, a hand appeared through the window and turned the wheel. John, paralysed with terror, watched how the hand appeared every time they came to a curve. John saw the lights of a pub down the road so, gathering strength, jumped out of the car and ran to it. Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and asked for two shots of tequila. He then started telling everybody about the horrible experience he went through. A silence enveloped everybody when they realised he was crying and....wasn't drunk. About 15 minutes later, two guys walked into the same pub. They were also wet and out of breath. Looking around and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other, "Look, Bruce.. here's the idiot that got in the car while we were pushing it."
這個故事發生在布里斯班，前一陣子，即使它聽起來像希區柯克故事，這是真的。約翰•布拉德福德，悉尼大學的學生，是一個非常黑暗的夜晚，在風暴中一側的道路順利遠足。夜上滾動並沒有車子。風暴是如此強烈，他幾乎看不到他的前面幾英尺。突然，他看見一輛車慢慢地向他走來，並停止。約翰，沒有想到它的住房和絕望，上了車，關上了門，只是實現有沒有人背後的車輪和發動機不！車開始緩緩移動。約翰看著路上看到一個曲線接近。
嚇壞了，他開始祈禱，乞求他的生命。然後，就在他打的曲線，出現了一方面通過這個窗口，轉動輪子。約翰，與恐怖癱瘓，看著手出現每次他們來到一條曲線。約翰在路上看到一家酒吧的燈光，凝聚力量，跳下車，跑到。濕出了一口氣，他衝了進去，並要求兩個龍舌蘭酒。然後，他開始約他經歷了可怕的經驗告訴大家。沉默籠罩著每個人，當他們意識到他哭了....不醉。約15分鐘後，兩個人走進相同的酒吧。他們還濕，出了一口氣。環顧四周，看到約翰•布拉德福德在酒吧抽泣，另一方面，“瞧，布魯斯說......這裡的白痴，而我們推上了車。”
