How to Deal with a Stuck Accelerator While Driving?
1 Answers
Methods to handle a stuck accelerator while driving: Firmly hold the steering wheel, immediately shift to neutral, use intermittent braking to forcibly cut off the engine's power, and then turn off the ignition immediately. Attempting to turn off the ignition as soon as the accelerator gets stuck may cause brake failure and make the steering wheel difficult to turn, so it is essential to shift to neutral and wait for the car to come to a complete stop before turning off the ignition. A stuck accelerator is a very dangerous and urgent situation because when the accelerator remains stuck, causing the vehicle to continuously accelerate forward, it becomes impossible to stop the car. Special note: If there is no storage box under the driver's seat, avoid placing small bottled water or rolling hard objects, as they can jam the brakes and lead to danger.
