From the C/D article linked above:
Quote:
But, as C/D demonstrated in a story published in June 1987, an Audi 5000 could be brought to a halt from 70 mph at wide-open throttle in a reasonably short distance (we demonstrated that a Toyota Camry could do the same in March 2010). Then, as now, no car could overpower its brakes.
So, while a smart person might resort to turning off the car or shifting to neutral if things were really screwy, the bottom line is the brake pedal works just fine. How can anyone not figure out to use the normal brake pedal to stop the car?
