  |  Which one is the brake?? While out and about a few weeks ago, I witnessed an older driver have a little trouble with brake/gas identification. He crashed straight through the double glass doors of this gas station/car wash/convenience store. The manager of the store dove to the aid of a customer who ended up with a broken leg instead of likely death. No others were injured thankfully (amazingly).
