At about 3:45 pm, I left my office in rosslyn to get to a dentist appointment. I was heading West on route 50 in the right lane, then moved to the center lane and floored the accelerator to pass a slow moving vehicle that was in the right lane. As I pulled back into the right lane, the car continued accelerating. I hooked my toe under the accelerator pedal to see if it was stuck in a down position. It was not.
