Two different incidents - I was in two minor low speed incidents. I believe at the time of the second the brake rod got bent (which is currently speculation and the insurance is investigating) from the first accident. After the first my accelerator would not function on some left hand turns. I got in the second accident because of the inability to "brake harder" and I was amazed I couldn't stop in the distance provided, and this braking scenario and outcome is repeatable. If I brake hard -- harder -- full stop.
