Afraid that the car would flip if he shifted into neutral? I am more than skeptical of this. The media is taking this guy’s word as the Gospel and putting the burden of proof on Toyota.

I had a ‘79 Oldsmobile get stuck in cruise control and wouldn’t shut off when I hit the brake, so I slipped it into neutral and shut the engine off. While it was coasting, I turned on the flashers. Then I restarted and everything was fine. Why it happened, I never found out. Never happened again.

Sure, the wheel fought me a bit as expected at first, but I was in heavy traffic and fully understood that in the video game of life, you only get ONE MAN. I was determined to survive and not do any harm to anyone else either.

I think most people would have done the same. Have people gotten stupider over the years?
