## Narrative
I was pulling into street parking spot behind a parked car at a slow speed and braking to stop. I put my foot on the brake to bring the car to a complete stop but instead of slowing down the car accelerated straight into  the vehicle in front of me.  The rear end of the car in front of me was substantially damaged.
