What I'm going to assume, since @RickMachE said he wouldn't admit, is that he's been in your shoes aside from the part where you publicly acknowledge mistakes. ?
Jep, you are a jerk. What has doughnuts got to do with what happened. Not like i was doing some tricks and ended up in the fence. I wish nothing similar e er happen to anyone and got nothing to do with couple doughnuts on wasteland. Little fun does not make me a bad driver nor a dangerous driver especially if done on private land away from people. So your comment was expected but completely unreasonable. I have held a clean licence for 17 years with no incidents or accidents as i keep my "fun" to minimum and off the roads.. sorry, but you are wrong.
Sorry, you cannot prove that, it happened before social media, and cell phones, and digital pictures,...What I'm going to assume, since @RickMachE said he wouldn't admit, is that he's been in your shoes aside from the part where you publicly acknowledge mistakes. ?
So you are the teacher in this scenario. Thanks for your learned wisdom.
I can understand/relate the brain-freeze (which I think is what you experienced).As with the Hold function my 1PD also has stopped working, so i was basically rolling slowly up to a stop point and as used to that the car Holds i think i released the pedals and it started rolling, the rest is a bit blurry as happened real fast, i know i had not freaked out like this ever, can still see the moment when i understand i have accelerated and i am hitting the car in front and there is nothing i can do. I dont think i will fully ever understand how and why mo foot landed on the wrong pedal after driving for 17 years daily. Definitely the Hold function and the 1PD function and having a new car combination did not help but my brain played a trick, and i was not tired and had no drink night before... just extremely bizarre i can nearly make myself believe that the pedal i hit was the right one but it accelerated instead of breaking, but dont think a glitch to a level like this would be possible, it must have been my brain?‍
I only had her for two weeks???
I really relate to that and there is many people out there who have experienced this. Unfortunately it was with a new car, but i have to let it go as it has been eating me alive all day. What happened happenedI can understand/relate the brain-freeze (which I think is what you experienced).
You were distracted and when you sensed the danger (rolling car) it happened so fast that brain was overloaded to react....
I had that happen last summer at a campground.
I pressed on the gas instead of a break. Never happened in my 40 years of driving.
Picture this...
= Duaghter car ==
...X... [ My RV triler]
..... Y [ Neighbor's truck ]

| My car
I was pulling my car towards X (to park in front of trailer) While watching Y (neighbor truck) and also thinking not to hit the hitch in front of my trailer. So my brain was processing 2 things.
I was doing all this little too quick and instead of breaking at the end I pressed gas.
If not for the swinging left at the last second I would have hit my daughter's car.
After settling down I realized my brain was processing 2 things and some one talked to me or I thought of something else and I did the wrong thing.
As if like computers, two processes at a time, third one and all bets are off
Sorry to hear about your experience with such a damage.
At least it gives people stuff to talk about, i am not afraid of other opinions. The forum is to share, and i am sharing. People complain about updates, leaking roofs, battery range. I give them something to talk about- crashing whilst parked and doughnuts. Makes the life so much more interesting. I intend to drive the car for 3 years and i have only owned it for two weeks so something tells me it will be interesting 3 years. I guess for next 4 to 6 weeks i will be driving a petrol car with no Hold and 1pd functions. Depends what the insurance has to offer.
Yeah, I didn't want to bring that up, but...
