There’s no conventional key on newer cars, and no kill switch.

"Theres no conventional key on newer cars, and no kill switch."Yes there is. The "start" button is also "stop". Besides, it was a 1991.

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

This was a 25 year old car. It also came with a thing called a transmission to take it out of gear.

Then there’s Bob Newhart’s driving instructor: “The other way of stopping?” “You throw it in reverse.”
To: nickcarraway
Set the cruise control to “0”.
To: nickcarraway
- Shift to neutral
- Gently apply parking brake
- Cut engine if it revs into the red
- Buy an Audi

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

Officer, my brakes didn’t work because my lead foot was stuck on the gas pedal.

"...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.

It is actually less than the interstate speed limits on many roads around here which are 75 mph. 120kph = 74.5645mph to be precise. What an incredibly stupid Saudi.

“a thing called a transmission to take it out of gear.”
That fact is what just floors me when I hear about deaths due to runaway Toyotas.

“If it is a manual transmission model...it is even easier to halt. “
Even an automatic transmission has a neutral gear positon!!
To: LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget
Thought it said 160kph. Either way, a drunk teenager texting in the US could still manage some control at that speed.
