| I have a 1982 toyota corolla. the car had a defect in the acceleration pedal causing it to go out of control. the only way i could get it to stop was to smash into a curb on the property of a senior hall. i sustained an injury and the car is totaled. it is in my shed currently. in the hospital, i was visited by an officer, who accused me of stepping on the brake instead of the accelerated pedal. he submitted this to the dmv. | |||
