“I was traveling at a slow speed and stopped to let a vehicle pass on a narrow side street and then pulled over to let another vehicle pass. When I pulled over the car accelerated and could not be stopped with the brakes. I was able to yank the car our of gear leaving the engine racing and then just as quickly it slowed to an idle.”
