| Description of the problem | As i was waiting to pull into a small parking lot, an auto was pulling out. I had my foot on the brake waiting for him to exit. As soon as i released the brake the car lurched forward full speed towards the exiting car and i turned sharply to the right to avoid a collision but went full speed into a wall (side of a house) the exiting car was grazed, the house was damaged and my car was totaled. The sound of acceleration as i released the brake was as if i depressed fully the gas pedal which i did not do. |
