Me too -- first accident I ever had. I was reversing out of a parking spot and hit the wrong pedal.

This was during Thanksgiving. I had gotten my license over the summer, and hadn't driven at all in 4 months.

Driving her boss's car, she was probably not that familiar with it and the confusion was much more likely.

I have one pair of shoes that have soles slightly wider than the rest of the shoes I own, and when I drive with those, I sometimes have trouble with the pedals on our car.
