Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
The accelerator sticks and does not release. What is a useful immediate response?
Correct answer: Shift to neutral, brake, steer to safety.
Why
Shift to neutral to stop engine power from driving the wheels, apply the brakes steadily, and steer to a safe stopping place. Shut off the engine once safely stopped and arrange repair. Never turn the key to the steering-lock position while moving.
