I would guess its an auto and he stamped on the loud pedal instead of the brake pedal,and then panicked.

Oh dear. Guessing it was an auto as it was creeping. In fairness, the foot brake on an auto is only about a foot wide so easy mistake to make.  ::)

We saw an old lady bounce off a Land Rover Freelander and wrap her car round a tree in a garden centre car park yesterday. She was badly shaken so they took her off in an Ambulance.  :-\

Stop Press! MP found to be incompetent in even the most simple practical task. ::)

What's the betting they don't find anything wrong with the car until presented with some brown paper envelopes?

Shame. Seems better qualified for transport - forcing everyone onto buses that smell of pee while swanning around in a great big merc. ::)

Ahh. MP for Banbury, you say?.. Off you go, TheBoy... :D

Had he been a two'footer' the problem would not have arisen. :-[ :-*
