## Narrative
Car moving slowly and suddenly races and speeds UP.  Hard to STOP it.  Has happened twice, 8 to 10 Months apart..  First time was on a small driveway.  Was able to STOP CAR , with no damages.  2nd occurrence i was pulling into a parking Space.  Foot not on gas or brake and again the CAR accelerated.  This Time the CAR hit a handicapped parking sign and pushed it over.  The sign stopped the CAR with Assistance from me.  There was a small drop in front of the CAR and a tree 10-15 Feet in front of the Hill. The passenger in my CAR would have been in severe trouble had I not gotten the CAR stopped.  My husband thought i may have somehow activated the cruise control.  But i was going less than 20 miles per hour each time.  This could be a deadly problem if a Child or Someone Crossed in front of me.
