THIS SOMETIMES OCCURRED WHEN THE DRIVER STILL HAD A FOOT ON THE BRAKE, OTHER TIMES JUST AS FOOT LIFTED FROM THE BRAKE, BUT ALWAYS WITHOUT DRIVER TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. INCIDENTS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN ONE MONTH AND NOT CONSISTENTLY, WHICH CAUGHT DRIVER OFF GUARD EVEN MORE. DURING ONE INCIDENT, A PEDESTRIAN WAS ALMOST HIT AS SHE CROSSED THE STREET AT LEAST SEVERAL FEET AWAY FROM FRONT OF VEHICLE. INCIDENTS OCCURRED RANDOMLY AT LEAST 6 DIFFERENT TIMES THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY. *JB
