100 feet... 100
The 60-0 Stopping distance for that car is rated at 127 feet... not to mention the curbs and such... What the hell was she doing!?

probably texting of course
I'm not pointing any gender fingers... I watched some dude nearly head on a tree the other day for whatever dumb reason.
Guy or gal... I'm just mystified how that much distance was covered - with physical barriers in the way to boot.

itsa shame it wasn't a Prius...she could say it would brake and the accelerator was stuck...
Oh that shit... Sad, but true - they have found a statistically significant number of the 'runaway' toyotas had had 100% throttle and 0% brake on at the time of their crash, in instances when the driver claimed to be standing on the brakes... Sucks for those folks.. but Darwinism?

I watched a dude in a ford pickup sideswipe the guardrail on a bridge while texting a couple days ago.
dumb is unisex.
