Question: What should you do if your accelerator pedal sticks while driving?

Answer options: ✅ Shift to neutral and apply the brakes.

  • Turn off the engine immediately while moving at high speed.
  • Pull the parking brake as hard as possible.
  • Shift into a lower gear and pump the gas pedal.
