In attempting to slow down our company's 2007 Ford Explorer I inadvertently pressed both the brake pedal and gas pedal at the same time with the same foot, causing the vehicle to speed up instead. I have previously experienced this in a rental Ford crown victoria. There was no accident, and there were no injuries, other than a brief panic attack. My solution was not drive the company's vehicle, but instead drive my own Chevrolet.
