The brake and gas pedal are at the proper elevation to press them simultaneously with one foot. Because it is rear wheel drive and anti-lock brakes, the car speeds up when that happens. This is a typical engineering flaw that happens with many vehicles ("he thought he was stepping on the brake when he ran into the crowd of people. . . "). The front anti-lock brakes release when the rear wheels want to keep turning. With regular brakes, one can still overcome the force of the engine and stop a car. I ran into a house trailer because of the car accelerated when I stepped on the brake! the problem can be engineered out. I have not yet found a way to disseminate this information to any national safety committee. It is probably a common problem for people who use one foot on the brake and the other foot on the gas.
