டோயோடா வண்டியெல்லாம் கட்டுப்பாடில்லாம ஓடுது, பிரேக்கு போட்டா நிக்க மாட்டேங்குது என்ற ஒரு செய்தி வெளியானது தெரிந்ததே

சமீபத்தில், ஒரு டோயோடா பைரஸ் (Pirus) கலிபோர்னியாவில் பிரேக்கு புடிக்காமல் 90 மைல் வேகத்தில் ஓடியதாயும், போலீசார் உதவியுடன் நின்றதயும் செய்தி வெளியாயின

இப்ப என்னாடான்னா, அந்த செய்தியே கதையோ ? புருடாவோன்னு , என்ற அந்த நபர் (ஓட்டுனர்) சொன்னதில பல பாகங்கள் கற்பனையோன்னு சந்தேகம் கிளம்பி இருக்குது. பிரேக்கு புடிக்கெல்லையின்னா வண்டியை ஏன் அணைக்கவில்லை (switch off செய்யவில்லை ) என்றும், சைக்ஸ் முன்னமே இது போல சில கேஸ்கள் போட்டு இருக்காரான்னும் கேள்விகள் கிளம்பி இருக்குது

Toyota Hybrid Horror Hoax

"On the very day Toyota was making a high-profile defense of its cars, one of them was speeding out of control," said CBS News--and a vast number of other media outlets worldwide.

It got far more dramatic, though. The California Highway Patrol responded and "To get the runaway car to stop, they actually had to put their patrol car in front of the Prius and step on the brakes." During over 20 harrowing minutes, according to NBC's report, Sikes "did everything he could to try to slow down that Prius." Others said, "Radio traffic indicated the driver was unable to turn off the engine or shift the car into neutral."

In fact, almost none of this was true. Virtually every aspect of Sikes's story as told to reporters makes no sense. His claim that he'd tried to yank up the accelerator could be falsified, with his help, in half a minute. And now we even have an explanation for why he'd pull such a stunt ...

... Now here's the potential smoking gun: Sikes told the reporters that "I was reaching down and trying to pull up on the gas pedal. It didn't move at all; it was stationary." That's awfully daring for somebody who insisted he didn't even want to take a hand off his steering wheel, notwithstanding that he did so to hold his phone.

... I tried to imitate Sikes' alleged effort in a 2008 Prius.

... it required squashing my face against the radio and completely removing my eyes from the road.

... So why did he do it? Sleuth work at the Web sites Jalopnik.com and Gawker.com reveals that Sikes and his wife Patty in 2008 filed for bankruptcy and are over $700,000 in debt.

... Sikes also has a history of filing insurance claims for allegedly stolen items that are slowly coming to light.

... (The media) have been as determined to not investigate Sikes' claims as Sikes was to not stop his car. It's a Toyota media feeding frenzy and the media aren't about to let little things like incredible stories and readily-refutable claims get in the way.
