I bet there is a mechanical/electrical issue that is blown way out of proportion, and human error in some of these issues.

Once I accidentally slammed on the gas thinking it was the brake. (I got confused switching from a manual transmission to an automatic.) It was scary...the car jumped a curb and my driver's ed teacher was furious. He slammed his brake and it stopped the car.

that's how I failed my first driver's test.

Was reversing into a spot, and hit gas instead of brakes.
