FROM: The Truth About Cars
Mardirossian said Uno was a cautious driver and neither floor mats nor driver error were to blame.
He said witnesses heard the Camry engine racing and saw brake lights going on and off. Pulling the handbrake had "zero effect," Mardirossian said.
"Imagine her strapped into her Toyota Camry driving 100 mph knowing the next move would be fatal," he said. "She saved many lives by veering off into that center median knowing that death was near."
The LEMON LADY has previously posted that a MERCURY SABLE [FORD] prevented additional injury and damage for several reasons.
FORD put a kill switch in the trunk that shuts off the electric fuel pump ON IMPACT.
The LEMON LADY'S MERCURY SABLE came to rest shortly after impact on someone's lawn.
FORD'S ABS brakes left skid marks across the road, never losing control.
TOYOTA offers NO such protection as these fatal TOYOTA CRASHES seem to prove and beyond that argues TOYOTA is not mandated to do so under federal law.
FORD was not required to do so either, yet FORD's feature protected not only the LEMON LADY, but occupants of the home.

KinderCare crash: New details in FHP report
WINTER PARK --
A new crash report from Florida Highway Patrol outlines exactly what happened the day a vehicle crashed into a KinderCare day care center, killing one child and injured 13 other children and one adult.
Robert Corchado is facing charges for hitting the vehicle that crashed into the day care on North Goldenrod Road and fleeing the area. He remains in jail.
The report said Corchado's Dodge Durango struck a Toyota Solara. The Solara was slowing to turn into the parking lot for the day care center.
A diagram included in the crash report shows how the car hopped the curve, went through the parking lot, jumped the sidewalk and went through the wall of the day care, drove through one room, and then another before stopping.
The report also shows three children were struck by the car as it crashed into the playroom. Lily Quintus was one of those children, and she was killed in the crash. Two other children were critically hurt.
Eleven other children and one adult were all struck by debris from the crash. http://mynews13.com/content/news/cfnews13/news/article.html/content/news/articles/cfn/2014/4/16/kindercare_crash_new.html

Noriko Uno: Last Minutes Filled With Terror As Toyota Camry Sped Out of Control
Mardirossian argued Toyota made safety an option instead of a standard by not installing a mechanism to override the accelerator. He added the automaker also failed to warn customers what to do if an accelerator became stuck.
....they argued that brake override was not -- and still is not -- required under federal vehicle safety standards.
Toyota defended its vehicles, saying it had a state of the art braking system and argued an override component would not have prevented the crash. The company's lawyers said Uno likely mistook the gas pedal for the brake. [Toyota's ploy: Blame it on the driver! Witnesses reported seeing brake lights and the handbrake had been pulled in efforts to STOP Noriko Uno's Runaway TOYOTA as she sped to her death.]
Toyota has blamed the driver, stuck accelerators or floor mats that trapped the gas pedal for the sudden unintended acceleration......
....they argued that brake override was not -- and still is not -- required under federal vehicle safety standards.
Toyota reached the agreement in the case brought by the family of Paul Van Alfen and Charlene Jones Lloyd, spokeswoman Celeste Migliore said. They were killed when their Toyota Camry slammed into a wall in Utah in 2010.
.....the Associated Press has conducted an investigation of its own, finding that Toyota has, for years, blocked access to event data recorder (EDR) information, and that the automaker has been inconsistent in revealing exactly what these devices do and do not record.
Toyota CA Sudden Acceleration Trial: Can you trust Toyota?
"Toyota decided to make safety an option instead of a standard on their vehicles,".....
Consumer Reports recently uncovered NHTSA's log books from 2008 that showed Toyota and Lexus vehicles accounted for over 40% of the complaints about uncontrolled acceleration in 2008 models. That's a significant percentage, especially considering that Toyota doesn't sell 40% of the cars on the market (it sells about 15% of all cars).
