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.

Went to apply brakes and the vehicle started to accelarate. I thought I had hit the gas pedal with the side of my foot, but after getting the vehicle stopped I tried to put my foot on the brake pedal and the gas pedal at the same time since that upset me. I could not do it because they are too far apart for that to happen. This could have been very bad because I could have gone into the store in front of the parking space.
