1) He was driving a dealer-loaned car that he was unfamiliar with.
2) This particular Lexus was equipped with a push-button ignition. This means that if the car's in motion the button has to be held for 3-seconds before shutting off.
3) The Lexus power-assist braking system loses power when at full throttle. That seems like the major flaw to me.
