She was too paniced to shift out of gear. She doesn't even belong
behind the wheel of a car.

What gets me are the people that plow into stuff at 90MPH, NINETY
MILES PER HOUR, after experiencing the uncontrolled acceleration
problem.

How the hell fast were they going in the first place that they didn't
have time to calm down and react to the situaiton before the car got
to 90MPH? Even from 70MPH, it takes several seconds to hit 90, plenty
of time for even the most bubble-headed driver to recover from the
initial shock and shift into neutral, or turn off the key. Romping on
the brakes until they get hot would buy you several more seconds to
figure out what to do.
