Toyota Lawsuit band wagon

Just wondering how many people will crash their Toyota to get a big payout by blaming it on the accelerator.

I can even see some upset spouse running over their mate and then blame it on Toyota. May be the prefect crime.

BTW I don't own a Toyota, so I am not thinking of doing this myself.

Hopefully we still have some integrity left in this nation and people will stop trying to get something for nothing

There is information stored on the vehicle's computer that could indicate an owner's actions and the vehicle's parameters to help catch liars.

I thought the "Black Box" would help them figure out the problem a lot easier.

I hate saying it but that's wishful thinking. Our society has become one of instant gratification and lack of personal responsibility.

Bart Simpson says it best .....

I didn't do it, no one saw me do it, you can't prove anything.
