US files charge against Toyota, $1.2B penalty

I really don't care if it was a Toyota or another manufacturer. I really don't care if it was a law enforcement officer driving or not. Floor mats or no floor mats, anyone with common sense should have been able to shift into neutral and gently slow the car down, maybe even using the handbrake if necessary, long before reaching 100 mph. But, I guess some people think it is better to just sue others since it is easier than working for your whole life.
