i dont see how people dont understand..

if the throttle is stuck take it out of gear and let the engine pop,

must be cheaper to fix than... that ^^^


i remember a film based in america.

they were driving round for a couple of hours with the throttle pedal stuck..

why didnt they just take it out of gear brake and let the engine pop!

the best way to deal with it i would have thought would be engine off then apply brakes and stop, much easier than crashing the car

Have you tried getting a car out of gear on full throttle?

That's a good point I forgot the clutch pedal existed TBH.

Switching the ignition off would have been my first thought though
