More like the American media.

Old guy in NYC yesterday crashed his Camry through 30' of bushes and shrubs into a building. The breathless reporting had the "throttle sticking". Why exactly was he driving through a residential area with a full throttle???

And what about the brakes? It has been proved the brakes can overpower the throttle on any Toyota model.

This happens all the time in all kinds of cars. 99.999% or the time, somebody gets shaken - and stomps on the gas petal.

Bad and elderly drivers are 100,000% more of a problem than any particular Toyota..
