THIS Is What Happens When You Mistake The Gas Pedal For The Brake In A Porsche 911 Turbo

It's pretty safe to say that when you mistake the gas pedal for a brake in a slow economy car, you can likely "catch it" before anything bad happens.

Now if you're behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 Turbo, likely you're going to be going to 60 in the blink of the eye and will be in a world of pain -- or unfortunately someone else will be.

That's exactly what happened when a woman in Turkey *may* have taken out her husband's Porsche 997 Turbo.

As the video below shows, two young women in a Porsche pulled into a Turkish gas station when there was a slip up and the Turbo FLEW through the store.

Though it appears that no one was seriously injured, we can't be entirely sure. However, it is miraculous that no one appears to have been killed.

**Note: The Porsche driver doesn't hit the brakes until the vehicle's midway through the store.

In US the woman would sue the Porsche for selling a "dangerous,out of control car".
The sad part is,she would win a nice settlement......

In Turkey, this incident is quickly identified as pilot error. In the United States, it's the start of another "Unintended Acceleration" news story. First Audi. Then Toyota. Why not Porsche, too? Meh.

I think she probably has her foot on the gas pedal as she intended to slightly accelerate into the gas station forecourt, however once the car hit the curb she unintentionally stepped harder on the gas pedal and the rest is history......
