She probably stepped on the gas instead of the brake, and then panicked.

Lovely to look at
Delightful to hold
But if you break it
Consider it sold.

I didn't know a car could "shoot backward" of it's own accord. The writer of the article likely forgot to mention the part about the lady putting her foot on the gas, thinking it was the brake, while the car was in reverse.

I always panic when I drive Hondas.

Will be written off as another disoriented senior. These incidents are common in FL.

That's what I would say...

But nowdays they have everything insured because they know that some people that come in to test drive are dead beats and if something happened during the test drive they would be out a car... hence write off.

She must have tried to drive one of those new fangled cars where they switch the gas and brake peddle around.

the car was written off.

What about the people who were run down? Were they written off as well?

Wow, an elderly person losing control of a car and crashing. You don't hear that every single day...
