    People are just idiots. He couldve just put the car in neutral, and then used the brakes, but people are so lazy. They just rely on the auto transmission computer to do all of the work for them, so when an emergency situation comes up that ACTUALLY REQUIRES THEM TO DO SOME DRIVING, they have no idea what to do. If you are going to drive an auto, at least know how to really drive it. Alot of people dont know what the lower gears in an automatic are for, and even more dont know that you can even shift it while in motion. A manual owner would know exactly what to do, push in clutch, shift to neutral, b/c we do it all of the time. But someone who never really drives their car, but lets the car drive them, just panic in situations like this. That is what causes accidents and makes a dangerous situation even more dangerous. Driver's Ed, and I mean serious "to the track to re-enact dangerous situations" driver's ed, not "what do you do at a stop sign" driver's ed, needs to be mandatory.

    I dont believe this shit I think something is up, ever since this whole toyota thing has happened everybody is saying that something is wrong with their toyota's. We have owned toyota for many years and theyare very reliable cars. Its just me cause i dont believe the media no more. we got a notice to go repair our 06' tacoma but i dont belive nothing is wrong with our truck. Just like when they said that china had lead in childrens toys some years ago, that shit was bs 2. AGAIN THIS IS MY OPINION.
