To idignantly complain that it's the car's fault shows that. Yes, the vehicle malfuntioned but that's all. The transmission and the brakes didn't malfunction, so panic or not, stop the car.
This happened to me my first year of driving, after I was showing off to my pal in my dad's new car. I was in 2 lane traffic and nailed the gas. It stuck. Wide open. In traffic. I stood on the brakes, the engine kept screaming, I tried to lift the gas pedal with my hand as I was was trying to find a way off the road but it just flopped around down there. Signaled, pulled over, put it in neutral, engine redlined for the 2 sec it took me to shut the car off. I was 16 and it was a big fast German sedan.
Panic? Oh yeah, scared the crap out of me but you have to PAY ATTENTION and know how things work or take the bus.
