Transcript of the segment
What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: CBS News.
Hank LedgerTwo women are trying to set a Guinness record for the longest distance driven in toy cars, CBS News reports, and they're going five hundred miles.
Dale BearmanFive hundred miles, from Jacksonville to Key West, on sidewalks and bike lanes. Top speed is eleven miles an hour.
Hank LedgerThe range is eleven miles a charge. So that's roughly forty-five charges.
Dale BearmanHold on, I've done the sums. Forty-five plugs in forty-five strangers' garages, and one of them has a dog.
Dale BearmanThat's how a record becomes an incident.
Hank LedgerThey also have to log every stop, bathroom breaks included, and an official witness rides in the passenger seat.
Dale BearmanA witness. In a toy car. For five hundred miles. I'd confess to anything by Daytona.
Hank LedgerThe animal charity fundraiser is a good cause. It gets one alligator, for the sidewalks.
