the report said tapos na yung investigation sa sasakyan ni general.
may way ba to secure a copy of said investigation para naman malaman natin ang findings?

This gives the vehicle behind me a little more information about my vehicle position and speed,- as collisions happen when rolling, too... Depends from one driver to another,- but this is me.

Again,- the video is not convincing, as the outermost running/brake lights did not light up more intensely, as pointed out by bro.niky....

What is the year model of that MS? I assume that all MS (more recent releases) have a third brake light (and with 3 bulbs which would not get busted at the same time - again, the law of probabilities or the law of being pabaya on the part of the owner...

The reason why i'm asking about the inhibitor switch is that I just read in the old comments that the Mitsubishi casa would point to a faulty inhibitor switch in those who are complaining that their gears get into another gear like D to N, and vice versa. So what part inhibits a gear going to the wrong position?
Actually, hyundai also has inhibitor switch and brake light switch problems too since my grand starex now has a loose gearchange (hard to put the gear into Park sometimes) and my tucson has both problems and parts have been replaced.
So if the gearchange is loose and a faulty part is the cause, then the general might have thought he was on D but it slid to R thus causing the SUA?

Brake light on.

Running light on

Bro.,- luckily, I have not experienced that inhibitor switch issue and loose gearchange issue on our GS, and our other AT rides.... [One of my siblings, who drives a Tucson, also has not experienced those]

I am confused though, if the good general thought that he was on D, but slid it to R,- what's the connection of this, with the SUA [which I assume is out of control of the driver- meaning vehicle-related]?

Might have started with a faulty and loose gearchange that would put D to R, startling the good general and ends up with unintended reverse of the vehicle. but still doesnt explain why the sudden acceleration in reverse then forwards ( which looks like driver error)

Second driver, johnny ko also claims that he had SUA going reverse first then forwards after. Bakit may pattern?
