Um...notice how the original article that your articles gives a link to says something completely different?

The driver, who did not want to be named, said his foot became caught in his lanyard attached to his keys, preventing him from using the brake.

What doofus puts their CAR keys on a lanyard? House keys I can understand, but it doesn't take a genius to see how having "long, loose, looped rope" attached to "vital component of vehicle" would be a bad idea.

Yeah - tho I hate long, dangly things from car keys anyway. My partner has a longish chain (couple of inches) with a dongle attached. When driving, it has a tendency to hit your leg - don't really know how he can stand it lol.

I have my car keys and house keys separate - one of the reasons is so I don't have anything dangly and annoying on my car keys.
