our family was also really fond of audi and owned two the second one a red did however unintendedly accelerate when i was at an intersection and almost caused me to get into a head on collision as i was attempting a left hand turn i was familiar with the news at the time regarding the unintended acceleration and the fact that the pedals were close together so i released my foot from what i thought were both pedals looked down and placed my foot on the brake only the engine kept racing and due to my leg strength i was able to control the but i can see how a weaker person caught unaware might not be able to control the car as the rpm's were past as it was it still took about feet to control the audi if it didn't happen to me i wouldn't have believed it as it was happening i couldn't believe it i find it degrading that this article tries to place the blame on the driver as there was a real dangerous issue plaguing some of their cars in my over km's driving my various cars trucks and motorcycles it has happened only that one time in that one audi please rephrase the wording so that the blame is placed where it belongs i e with audi and not with the operators victims
