I’m old but I never once chose to do that, or thought when I was accelerating my car that I should just push the same peddle harder to make it stop. She must have been going 30 mph or faster to do that much damage.
Sadly, if it's not a drunk/high driver then it's almost always a senior citizen that got confused. They get mixed up and think their car is in reverse when it's still in drive or they mix up the gas and brake pedal.
I agree - but I do wonder why they lay it to the floor... they weren't going to backup out of their parking space that fast.

I hope everyone ends up OK. One this is for sure, her license will be gone (or probably should be gone) after this. Especially when they get out of the car and say they don't know what happened.

Confusion and panic. They already think they're pressing the brake pedal, so they press it harder.
