WE WERE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL GOING NORTH. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE CAR IN FRONT OF US STARTED TO GO AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN, OUR CAR WENT INTO RAPID ACCELERATION. WE COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. IT CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. WE TRIED JAMMING ON THE BREAKS AND TURNING OFF THE IGNITION, BUT COULD NOT GET CONTROL. BECAUSE WE WERE HEADING UPHILL, THE CAR FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. WE WERE ON A CITY STREET AT A STOP SIGNAL.
WINDSHIELD CRACKS FROM IMPACT WITH SMALL ROCKS. IN THE PAST WEEK, MY WINDSHIELD WAS IMPACTED TWICE BY SMALL ROCKS. BOTH TIMES THE WINDSHIELD WAS DAMAGED. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES PER HOUR ON A HIGHWAY. THE WINDHIELD IS THE PROBLEM. I REALIZE A ROCK MIGHT DAMAGE A WINDSHIELD BUT THE GLASS IN MY PRIUS IS MUCH MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE THAN IS ACCEPTABLE. LUCKILY I GOT BOTH CRACKS REPAIRED BEFORE THE DAMAGE COULD SPREAD AND CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES. (I BOUGHT MY PRIUS THREE MONTHS AGO; IT HAS 5,000 MILES.)
