| Description of the problem | I had the cruise control set to 47mph, i was approaching the road to turn right and i tapped the brake to kick off the cruise control as i have done before. I then looked at the traffic around me and had to fix my seat belt which tightened too much, taking my eyes off the road a moment. When i looked up the car in front of me was at a dead stop, and i was still traveling at 47mph! The cruise control never turned off to slow the car down, i hit the car in front of me, which hit the car in front of her. My insurance decided to total my vehicle. |
