Default Pedal stuck?

Today leaving school I scared the crap out of myself. I was leaving and I gave my car a little gas and my foot slipped off the pedal and got stuck between the side of the pedal and the side of the interior piece. I was in a turn so the back end whipped around and I over corrected sorta and whipped the other way and then jerked the wheel around and did a perfect 180 facing the other way. This scared the hell of out me. Just wondering if anyone else has got there foot stuck like that? Also no calls from the Police yet.

I somehow had my pedal get stuck on the floor mat one time. I was on the interstate with no cars so I had plenty of time to reach down and more the floor mat. Glad to hear nobody got hurt though (car included)!

yea. It scared the hell out of me since I'm still sort of new to driving. But it supposedly looked cool like I intended to endanger myself and other drivers on the road. I hope something like this never happens again. I don't think I can get in trouble since I haven't gotten any phone calls or anything and I went to an assistant principal and told him and he said he hadn't heard of it and told me not to worry about it so I guess im fine.

I've done it before... and the ponies sure will get away from you if you're not careful. I hope it never happens again (unless I mean to do it ) Glad to hear that both you and the stang are ok.

you won't get busted. if you do, just tell them what you told us. tell them, "It's just a ford, what do you expect?"
