A woman testified before Congress that when her Toyota began accelerating
uncontrollably she "put the car in neutral and it had no effect, I stepped
on the brakes and it had no effect, I applied the emergency brake and it
had no effect, I even tried to put the car into reverse and I couldn't."

Huh? Putting the car in neutral had no effect? Someone provide with with a
clue on this one.

BTW< the car was a Lexus.

She forgot to mention that she was going down a steep 2 mile hill at the
time, and drafting an 18 wheeler.
