THERE WAS A WITNESS WHO WAS STANDING NEXT TO THE DRIVE-IN WINDOW BECAUSE THE RESTAURANT HAD MESSED UP HIS ORDER. HE REPORTED TO THE OFFICER THAT CAME TO THE SCENE THAT HE HEARD THE CAMRY'S ENGINE START REVVING, AND WHEN HE LOOKED TO SEE WHY, HE COULD SEE THAT I WAS TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. OBVIOUSLY, THE TOYOTA CAMRY RECALL WORK IS NOT EFFECTIVE. MY GRANDDAUGHTER (WHO WAS IN THE CAR) AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEED. *TR
