| I was driving very slowly down my block (2001 bmw x5) and i was making a right turn into my driveway and i was intending to make a 90 degree turn in the direction of my garage. as i was just into the turn the car accelerated from 1mph to about 30 mph or even faster in less than a second- it was out of control. i was in shock not expecting this scenario- i truly thought i was going to die or crash. i was braking entire time and no stopping was happening. i was headed for my living room window. tried to steer it away and once i hit the lawn my steering ability was all over the place. was trying to figure if i should hit the tree because my car was heading for my neighbor's front window. tire tracks and skid marks all over my front lawn and driveway. at that point i turned key off. car stopped. had about 2 or 3 seconds to react . it happened so fast and out of nowhere. by the way as i was traveling down my street, i happened to completely stop about 100 feet from my intended right turn. a neighbor was pulling out of their driveway and i was going to let that person have the right away. the car was at a dead stop 100 ft. from my driveway entrance. was traveling at a very slow speed as i approached my driveway. had no velocity at that point- very slow entrance into driveway. | |||
