What To Do If Your Accelerator Gets Stuck

After that guy in California had his Toyota go haywire on him, it seems like a lot of people are freaking out over the possibility that their Toyota could go all Hal (you know, from Space Odyssey) on them. Seems to me that a lot of it is hysteria, but here's my public service of the day: this YouTube video from ABC News shows you just how to stop your car if your accelerator gets stuck. Legal disclaimer: do not try this at home unless your accelerator actually gets stuck. And in the case that you are injured while performing one of these measures, SRTC is not responsible for any insurance bills or litigation expenses.
