Consumer Description

I WAS AT A PARKING LOT AND I WAS MAKING MY WAY INTO A SLOT WHEN I FIRST HAD TO REVERSE THEM WHEN I CHANGED THE GEAR THE DRIVE AND RELEASED THE BREAKS TO MOVE FORWARD INTO THE SLOT I SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND HAD TO PRESS ON THE BREAKS HARDER THAN EVER BECAUSE I THOUGHT AT FIRST I WAS RELEASING IT TOO FAST. BUT EVENTUALLY I SCREECHED INTO A FULL STOP AND AVOIDED HITTING THE CARS PARKED AND WORSE GOING OVER THE STREET ONTO INCOMING TRAFFIC. I NOTICED TIRE MARKS THAT MY BREAKING HAD MADE AT THE LOT.
