Still Waters Posted February 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2018 A Florida driver was chased down an Interstate for nearly 40 miles, after he called the emergency services claiming that the accelerator pedal was stuck to the floor. Joseph Cooper, aged 28 from Palm Coast, called 911 to inform an operator 'my gas pedal is stuck'. He reached speeds of 95mph on the I-95 freeway. Suggestions from emergency operators to turn the vehicle off or shift into neutral were not heeded, with Cooper saying 'I can't, ma'am, I tried that already. I'm trying to hold on to the wheel and talk to you at the same time." https://www.aol.co.uk/cars/2018/02/15/frantic-driver-calls-911-after-his-accelerator-gets-stuck/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acute Posted February 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2018 A strange reaction, IMHO. Create a space, then turn the vehicle off, surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redefining Success Posted February 21, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Some bloke did the same thing in the UK, except he was in a scania truck. Turning off the engine will help but not as much as neutral and brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
