“On september 27,2005, my1998 Lexus ls 400 rammed into the car in front of me. I was stopped in traffic with my foot on the brake. My car accelerated not once, but twice into the car in front of me. When the police and firemen came, the policeman stood next to my window and asked me to put the car in neutral so that the firemen could push the car out of the road. The car accelerated in reverse and almost ran over the firemen. The policeman noted this in his report. I was on airport blvd. Within 1 mile of the mobile airport. …”
