Never Underestimate the Stupidity of Mankind

"In preliminary findings delivered to Congress on 58 incidents, investigators found that in 35 cases, the brake was not applied. In a further 14 cases there was only "partial braking". In one case, both the brake and accelerator pedals were depressed and another showed evidence of pedals getting trapped in a floor mat. But the investigation found no evidence of any electronic problem suggested by Toyota's critics as a likely cause of crashes."

Read that again – In one case, both the brake and accelerator pedals were depressed. I wonder which driving school produced this stalwart. Obviously, after causing a nationwide panic, these users will also be mocked on late-night TV, right? Right?

    @Giribala: But to fuck things up this bad? I mean, not pressing the brake and expecting the car to stop is beyond erring.

    As A mechanic with multiple yrs. BEHIND the wheel i found that most people accept advice forwarded, given their circumstances, wanting to have faith in those that were capable of repairs, not necessarily of factual diagnosis. It came down to factual information and truthful abilities, Major distinctions regarding reality.Be factual and actually help people,or steal their monies for profit sake.The personality of the presenter was most dominant. POSSIBLY they were street vendors prior and effective selling Knock-offs of considered empresarios that actually contribute “POOP ”
