AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEN SHORTLY AFTER HIT A POT HOLE AND THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AS IF ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN.

I ALMOST SHOT INTO THE INTERSECTION AND MOST CERTAINLY SHOT PAST THE NORMAL STOPPING SPOT FOR WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. SCARY INCIDENT TO SAY THE LEAST. *TR
