Passing target: 80% (24/30)
As you drive, the gas pedal sticks and the car keeps speeding up. You try to free the pedal with your foot, but it stays down. What should you do next?
A continues along the highway with a stuck gas pedal. An enlarged automatic gear selector shows the current drive position; neutral is not selected in the question.
Correct answer: Shift to neutral or push in the clutch, then brake and stop at a safe place.
Why
A stuck gas pedal is an emergency, but you can control it. Keep your eyes on the road and steer, and try once to free the pedal with your foot. If that does not work, shift to neutral or push in the clutch, brake to a stop at the nearest safe place, and then turn off the ignition.
