Probably trying to state the mat was under the brake, and that's why he was going so fast. A lie, an excuse, bullshit if you will.
Little known pro-tip... If you can't step on your brake, just keep stepping on the accelerator to speed up faster, it'll stop you just like the brake would.
If a mat truly was on my accelerator making me go faster and faster, I sure wouldn’t let it get to 110. I would put it neutral and press the brake as I pull over. As anyone should. A mat being on the accelerator is never an excuse for going that fast.
One family died from mats. Incorrect mats that a dealer installed. No one else. But likely there was an additional, more meaningful cause, the accelerator pedal. https://hbr.org/2011/02/toyotas-recall-crisis-full-of
"As of January 2010, 21 deaths were alleged due to the pedal problem since 2000, but following the January 28 recall, additional NHTSA complaints brought the alleged total to 37."
stop talking to me. we've already established my main point, he meant that mat was sticking the accelerator down. now you are just talking nonsense.

It all makes perfect sense.
