What to do when accelerator sticks - new item

Had a Peug 205 that jammed once and sure it's not a drive-by-wire but honestly, 26 minutes of flat out and it only managed 130

Clutch down, brake on. Nothing wrong with turning the engine off at speed, you'll probably get a bunch of errors etc but turn it off, then contact back on 1st setting will do the job. Get out of that fast lane (steering should still work...) find somewhere to run off and just do it.

26 minutes is a total joke, even without brakes you could stop a car from that speed a LOT quicker assuming you can cut engine power. Just drop it through the gears and brake on the engine, it will slow it down from 130 to something like 30 within a very short time, then you could try the brakes in addition (had he not f*cked them).

I sure wouldnt burn my brakes out trying to win against a flat-out engine. You'll loose that battle.

If the choice was between going flat out & crashing at high speed & not having some aids that wouldn't be a hard one to make IMHO, and you'll have brakes for a while even when the engine isnt running, just won't last much beyond that
