ok I will clear this up last night during peak hour traffic I was coming off the monash fway, I brake for traffic lights, I had my foot on the brake, but my annoying Pedals didn't know that my foot was on the brake and my foot was not on the accelerator as other members have said as a result my front end got dinted with a tow bar going into my front end, there was no damage at all to the fwd, I was just lucky there was minimal damage to my car, I thought it was worse

A little more background about Erik (the OP) - He used to be a member of AMC but after his 4th "Im leaving - I hate you all thread" we banned him for good.

There is a post on there about his rice padels (lol) and even a few people saying that they can cause an accident. Unfortunately Erik hasnt quite figured out how to listen to people.

End result - another accident for him..


As for changing the thread title - It should be left that way.. It adds to the amusement of The Pub.
Bain how did i know you


ganna do a history of me on here and how long did it take u to find out i was on here.

Very interesting thread!
Were you pushing on the pedal or did you just have your foot resting on it?

Hmmm, horrific. Are you sure your pedals are to blame? You didnt perhaps get your cardigan caught somewhere while reaching for the tin of barley sugars, got disorientated and stabbed the accelerator with your walking stick? Maybe nod off at the wheel while waiting for the car to reach 60?

Yes you did the right thing and stopped. Although most people use brakes for this, and not the cars around them.
