I just heard the 911 call for the family that was killed when this happened. They were forced to go 120MPH down the road and couldn't stop.

I know there's a slim chance of it happening to me but I'd like to know the best actions to take. Thank you from me and my family. :)
 
1. Push the brake pedal to the floor then 2. Turn the ignition to 'off' or 3. Shift into neutral, or if you are moving fast, 1st or 2nd gear, but neutral is best or 4.pull the emergency brake/parking brake up SLOWLY or 5. put your foot underneath of the accelerator and pull it up with your foot WHILE pushing the brake to the floor.
 
Put it in neutral. Get on the brakes and pull over as quickly as you safely can. Once you have slowed down, you could turn off the ignition switch (just one click or you may lock the steering) . The engine will rev but the limiter may save it. Better the engine than you.
 
Well I hate to say it but the driver was a complete fool. All you have to do is stand on the brake and the car WILL stop. There isn't a car in the world (except maybe a top fuel dragster) that has enough power to over come the brakes. Besides -- what idiot will take the time to make a 911 call if his car is out of control? You have time to call 911 but NOT turn the ignition to 'off'??
The recording you heard has to be a fake.
