Bob & All,
Don't be too quick to place the blame on causes in this case. I am always am
suspicious when congress is enjoying grilling heads of corporations. Having
investigated a number of stuck throttles, brake failures, lemon cases, etc.
for attorneys and insurance companies that involving a number of different
manufacturers, I would be reluctant to make decisions on what the causes are
in this Toyota case since I have not investigated it myself. I do know that
driver error has been a major cause in these kinds of cases. It still
puzzles me why anyone should accelerate to a 100 mph plus when the ignition
switch turned off or shifting to neutral is still a choice. I do know that
it takes a couple of seconds to respond to an unexpected situation. I guess
people can just freeze too. I don't have an answer on this one!
Tom
