| Description of the problem | I was easing into a parking space in front of a bank and was nearly stopped when my car suddenly surged forward. With a full plate glass window in front of me, i wrenched the steering wheel as fast and as far to the right as possible and don't know how i missed the concrete pillar i then saw immediately in front of me. The next thing i knew i was in the driveway i had just used to enter the parking lot in front of the bank. I then pulled back into the parking space i had just left and got out to figure out what had happened and to see if i had caused any damage. The only real damage was a light on the lawn i had evidently knocked loose from its base and tire tracks in the grass. The only damage to my car was underneath where a screw holding some plastic parts together was lost. I am afraid to drive my car because if this happens again, i may not be so lucky; people may get killed and property may be badly damaged. |
