Angry Pedals Failed, Front End Dinted

Hello ladies and gentlemen. Today whilst I was driving on the freeway, I was silly enough to hit the accelerator instead of the brake and ran into the person in front's tow bar.

It happened at the exit of the freeway. I then proceeded to exit my vehicle in an orderly fashion whilst I then proceeded to inspect the damage that occured to both automobiles. I now have a circular indentation on my front bumper. My reasoning behind this accident is due to my aftermarket foot pedals. I promptly removed them from the vehicle. My brakes completely failed when I was trying to slow my vehicle (maybe because your foot was on the accelerator?). No damage was aquired on the ladies car all thanks to her tow bar. I will not be repairing my indentation due to the fact that I just recieved a NEW bumper bar which was only fixed a few months back. Now if I repair this bumper again, it is highly probable that some other form of indentation could occur. I do not believe that I struck any part of the vehicle that is of major significance. I have been driving the vehicle around and it feels fine.
