“After stopping and waiting at a traffic light for 15-30 seconds, I had my feet on the brakes and left turn indicator on. The hold option to lock my brakes was not engaged. The car was stationary. Without warning, the car shifted into drive and jolted forward into the vehicle ahead of me at the light.
