Cop Drags 77-year Old Woman from Car After She Refused to Give ID Before She Went to the Toilet…

Something tells us that 77-year-old Lynn Bedford wasn't expecting to be yanked out of her car when she was pulled over by a cop for speeding 16 mph (26km/h) over the 50 mph (80km/h) posted limit on Highway 67 near the city of Keene in Texas on August 19.

Video footage from both the officer's outfit and patrol car cameras recorded the entire incident starting from when Sgt. Gene Geheb approached the woman's SUV and told her why he stopped her.

Before Geheb could ask her for her driver's license and insurance, the woman told the officer, "All right, let's hurry up. I've got to go the bathroom." The cop asked her again for her ID only to be told, "I have a bladder infection."

BMW Announces New 1.5-Liter Turbo'd 3-Cylinder Petrol and Diesel Engines with up to 222HP

In 2007, BMW introduced the Efficient Dynamics strategy to its new vehicles, which encompasses fuel efficient petrol and diesel engines, highly efficient transmissions, “intelligent” management of ancillary systems and advanced aerodynamics.

Despite investing heavily on hybrid and EV technology, as is evident with the ActiveHybrid models and the new “i” sub-brand, BMW also believes that the internal combustion engine has potential for improvement and will continue to power the bulk of its existing and future models.

To that end, it is introducing a new lineup of TwinPower turbocharged engines in both gasoline and diesel forms, starting with the 1.5-liter three-cylinder units.

Apparently, McLaren wants to keep us on our toes as it prepares for the presentation of a new model, which we believe to be the famed F1's successor either in concept or (less likely) final production form, at the Paris Motor Show on September 27.

SCP Lightens Up Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon with Cosmetic Tune

Of all the Mercedes-Benz models, the one you least expect to tap the interest of tuners is the massively spacious E-Class T-Modell, also known as Estate and Wagon in other markets.

Yet it is this model, and in particular, the previous generation of the E-Class Wagon W211 built from 2002 to 2009, that has fallen into the hands of German aftermarket specialist, Schulz Car Professional or SCP for short.
