Your accelerator pedal sticks, and the car keeps speeding up. What should you do first?
Correct answer: Shift to neutral and brake, keeping your eyes on the road
Why
In neutral the engine can no longer drive the wheels, even if it races, so the brakes can stop the car. Warn others with your horn and flashers, steer to a safe place off the road, and turn off the ignition once you have stopped. Staying calm is the most important part of any vehicle emergency.
