What If Your Accelerator Pedal Stuck?

The question on everyone's mind lately is, "What would I do if my accelerator stuck?"

The likelyhood of that happening is very slim. However, have you thought out what you would do in the event that did happen?

Panic?
Scream?
Hold on for dear life?

HERE IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:
  • Keep calm.
  • Press fimly on the brake
  • Grip the Steering wheel firmly in one hand.
  • Shift the gear selector into neutral with the other hand.
  • Turn off the ignition.
  • Pull over to the side as far as possible, preferrably a safe place.
  • Turn on your hazard lights.
  • Tow the vehicle to your local dealer or garage.
The main thing here is not to panic.  If you have a game plan, and a level head, you can avoid a pontentially dangerous situation.
