I HAVE A 1982 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CAR HAD A DEFECT IN THE ACCELERATION PEDAL CAUSING IT TO GO OUT OF CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT TO STOP WAS TO SMASH INTO A CURB ON THE PROPERTY OF A SENIOR HALL. I SUSTAINED AN INJURY AND THE CAR IS TOTALED. IT IS IN MY SHED CURRENTLY. IN THE HOSPITAL, I WAS VISITED BY AN OFFICER, WHO ACCUSED ME OF STEPPING ON THE BRAKE INSTEAD OF THE ACCELERATED PEDAL. HE SUBMITTED THIS TO THE DMV. *TR
