Title: Toyota Recall
Post by: Banjax on 26 March 2010, 16:53:18
just watch the first few minutes of this doc and explain to me how come the driver of the car that crashed had time to call 911 and discuss the problem, but couldn't put the car in neutral and coast to a halt, or brake, or both? am i missing something?

Shocking clip.....apparently all 4 in the Toyota died.......

We never know how we would react to a situation like that until we find ourselves in one......

Bless their souls

Just done a bit of research and it would appear that the car involved in the 4 fatality accident was actually a dealer courtesy car,  so the driver may not have been totally familiar with it.....
