Here’s a similar story...even the same 120 mile per hour speed...it must have been horrifying for the driver...but it ended well (in Iowa a year or two ago).

By the way, it ends like this....

As for Ulvestad, she wants everybody to know that — Yes! She tried the brakes and to put it in neutral and she wanted to shut off the engine!

But none of it worked.

~They let women drive?~

It is about as sensitive question for them as gun control in the US.
Tomorrow this story would be used to back female driving ban, along with a studies that female driving is leading to adultery, premature aging, birth defects and so on.

I have yet to see a car that did not have a manual way to unlock the door..
**************************
A similar story was about a man leaving a store and seeing a woman in distress in the parking lot. She was upset because the battery on her fob was dead and she could not open the door to her car. ...The man took her key and unlocked the car door.

LOL. was at a go cart track in the Wisconsin Dells. A bunch of Muslim women were driving on the track. End of their ride, they get diverted over to the side to get out. EVERY ONE of them slammed into the waiting carts full of riders at full speed. It was hilarious. All you heard was “ ow” “ ow” “ ow” with the chain reaction whiplash. It’s not a camel Fatimah.....

Read the article...she really did try all of that; because of the design of the car, NONE of it worked (push button start among other things).

Any of them would have worked. Nothing in the design of the car prevented them from working. Operator error!
