um... there is this thing called a key... you might want to turn it to the off position.

[Quality_Not_Quantity]

Wait. What?

[DesertRhino]

Let your foot off the gas... as speed allows, select lower gears. In a mile or so you should be basically stopped. Idiot Saudi.

[Cincinnatus]

Then there’s Bob Newhart’s driving instructor: “The other way of stopping?” “You throw it in reverse.”

[Tijeras_Slim]

Set the cruise control to “0”.

[ConservativeWarrior]

- Shift to neutral

- Gently apply parking brake

- Cut engine if it revs into the red

- Buy an Audi

[factoryrat]

That’s about 100MPH. I’ve gone down the interstates in crappy weather in 40+ year old pickup trucks faster than that.

"...1991 Mercedes-Benz brakes stop working at 120 mph..."

So the next thing the driver thinks to do is make telephone calls about his situation? Seriously?
Slide the selector from DRIVE and into NEUTRAL.
If it is a manual transmission model...it is even easier to halt.

He needed a plastic Jesus on the dashboard!
Even Paul Newman, a great Race Car Driver knew that!

I have an “N” position. That makes the engine go but not transfer power to the car. It will stop the car in a minute or two.

So he gets on the cell phone to call the police? Must not have been any traffic. He could have put the transmission in a lower gear and lightly applied the parking brake to slowly come to a halt, if he had enough open road to make a phone call.

[A CA Guy]

Foot off the gas and downshift even the automatic.

[PAR35]

So a Muzzi banged a policeman from behind in a 25 year old car?

The average IQ in the best of muslim countries is 84.
Much, much more than half of these populations are operating below the level of rabid chimpanzees.

If I didn’t know better, I’d suspect that this story was posted to get our attention away from Obama’s covering up of the Iran deal...as it is SO BLATANT that we’re getting played here...after being told that the car is a 1991 model year.

[jacknhoo]

Maybe they should let women drive.

[discostu]

Does nobody comprehend shift into neutral and coast anymore? It’s like those idiot Prius stories a few years ago. There are many many ways to stop a car without having to hit anything.

[trebb]

Dang - only 24 more years and mine may begin to act up.....at least i know it will still be able to cruise at 120 mph + .....

[Candor7]

Alahwahoo Brakebar!
