brake: Pedal Error Correction

In speegled/fosdata: Data for use with the book "Probability, Statistics, and Data: A Fresh Approach Using R", by Darrin Speegle and Bryan Clair

Pedal Error Correction

Description

From the authors: "Although unintended acceleration caused by pedal misapplication is a cause of traffic accidents, fatal accidents may be avoided if drivers realize their error immediately and quickly correct how they are stepping on the pedal. This correction behavior may decline with age because the rate of fatal accidents is fairly higher for older adults than for younger adults."
