its bmw drivers like you that give the rest of us a bad name. now all of you get out of my way.We bmw drivers do what we want
Back when i was 15yo the handle of the accelerator of my scooter stucked on full, had to do meters like that
at full speed to bring it to the ground and remove the keys LOL
No, turning the key off while driving in highway gears, will kill the transmission that's what i meant.
So, as I replied some posts ago this happened to me on a freeway. I initially just panicked and slammed on the brake. That slowed me down to about 50 mph. Then I put on the emergency brake which got me down to 40 mph. That's as I slow as I got. I then got to the shoulder and after about probably about a minute and a half of thinking and my leg getting sore from stomping down as hard as I could, I just turned off the car. That, of course, did it. I should have put it in neutral first though.
Anyhow, no joke... there was flames shooting out my wheels because the brake pads were on fire.
Your brakes must have been in poor condition to not be able to stop the car. Car and Driver did testing on stuck throttles back around the time of the Toyota issue. They found that the brakes overpowered the engine on every vehicle they tested, even a 500hp+ Mustang.
Really? Were all the cars floored?
Damn what type of vehicle was it?So, as I replied some posts ago this happened to me on a freeway. I initially just panicked and slammed on the brake. That slowed me down to about 50 mph.

The parking brake is only for the rear wheels. What dangerous motion will happen if only the rear wheels are brakes?Pulling the emergency brake at 100 mph doesn’t seem like a smart move.
Holy shit, he does lol^ that dude looks like Cro Cop
lol. 20 years ago I had the same thing happen with my shitty Dodge spirit 1991. Retractor spring missing or something.So the driver of a 2003 BMW X5 claimed to police his gas pedal was stuck . He called the 911 dispatch and warned them about this. Dispatch asked him to shift into neutral, which he said he tried but it didn't work.
Now here's the suspicious action from him: when police threw down spiked strips to stop the car, the guy avoided them.
Why wouldn't he just hit the brake? Or turn the ignition off ? Or pull the parking brake?

Yup. There's no production car on this planet where the engine overpowers the brakes.Your brakes must have been in poor condition to not be able to stop the car. Car and Driver did testing on stuck throttles back around the time of the Toyota issue. They found that the brakes overpowered the engine on every vehicle they tested, even a 500hp+ Mustang.
