After receiving more than 3,000 reports of sudden acceleration in Toyota vehicles, the U.S. Department of Transportation has concluded that driver error was actually at fault. According to The Wall Street Journal, investigators analyzing different data recorders from Toyota vehicles found that at the time of these sudden acceleration crashes, the throttles were wide open rather and the brakes were not depressed. Thus, they have reason to believe that drivers were mistakenly stomping on the accelerator rather than slamming the brakes in an attempt to avoid these crashes.

    • Really? REALLY?
      So rather than a mechanical issue, it was a problem caused by a bunch of assholes who couldn't distinguish the difference between the brake and the gas pedal in a moment of panic?

      Ha... HA... HAha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

      Holy balls, are there that many drivers in the United States that are really that retarded?
