I pulled off the interstate after traveling 70mph with cruise control on. I then pulled into the Walmart parking lot and started to enter a parking spot rolling at 5mph and accidentally brushed the resume cruise control and the truck shot me forward and I came within inches of the car ahead of me because the truck suddenly started accelerating.
