If it was that simple, push in the clutch. Dah!!! I saw a great skit on you-tube about run away Prius'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ4PtafRB9c The bottom line -put it in neutral or turn off the F--King key. Maybe to expect something that simple is interfering with God's plan with weeding out the stupid ones.

These cars are so damn powerful and tricky, I often say to myself when I feel heavy footed "Calm down Chris, lets not make the news tonight"

One bad decision is all that it takes. Thats probably what happened here.
