Passing target: 80% (52/65)
On a highway, you lift your foot, but the gas pedal stays down and the car keeps going faster. What should you do?
A blue car continues on a highway lane with an empty shoulder. The card repeats that the gas pedal stays down and speed increases; no route or gear choice is shown.
Correct answer: Keep your eyes on the road, shift to neutral, and pull off the road when it is safe.
Why
A stuck gas pedal is dangerous because the car speeds up while you try to find the problem. Neutral cuts the engine power to the wheels, so the brakes can stop the car. Turn off the engine only after you stop off the road, because some cars lose power steering when the engine stops.
