What should you do if the accelerator sticks?
Correct answer: Brake, shift to neutral and steer to a safe stop
Why
Apply the brake, look for a safe escape path and shift to neutral to disconnect engine power from the wheels. Keep braking and steer to a safe stop, then turn off the engine. Do not reach down for the pedal or try to restart; call for help.
