That explains a lot!
I hope it’s found out our messiah is behind this act.
Even if this guy panicked given the length of time he was
speeding down the road he would have come to himself and
knocked his car out of gear and cut the switch. This is one
big ass lie.
Yeah, it sounds stupid, but keep in mind that what you are reading isn't necessarily what he said. It has been filtered through the mind of a know-nothing journalist.
As my brother says, "If you want to see someone get the simplest thing wrong, tell something to a journalist"
Also, in computer-controlled, fly-by-wire systems, there is no direct linkage between the shift lever and the transmission. If the computer is already going haywire due to a software issue, there is no reason to believe that it will respond to any of the driver controls, including the "stop/start" button, the transmission, or the gas pedal.
I'm sure we've all experienced this type of non-responsiveness with our own computers.
The only way a car will flip is if the driver does something stupid. Husband helped develop the Explorer. The only way they were able to flip it when the tire blew was to jerk the steering wheel in the opposite direction. It’s usually the stupid driver.
Bet the guy couldn’t change his own oil or change plugs. What a maroon.
