Who else would equate putting a manual transmission in reverse with the difficulties that were being discussed on this thread?
Listen, brainiac:
Throwing a car in reverse is a very bad idea if you are flying down the road in a forward direction. You do it with your car all you want. Just please don’t do it around any other vehicles who don’t deserve to be wiped out.
If a driver is in a panic situation due to a stuck accelerator they are likely to be pressing hard on the brake. If the road surface is slippery then there may not be enough traction to keep the wheels turning if they are not engaged. Shifting into reverse in that situation can allow the driven wheels to stop rotating long enough for the auto transmission to engage reverse. The result is locked up drive wheels and then then guess what? They crash.
I said throwing a car into reverse in a stuck accelerator situation should not be done because it could in some instances lead to locked drive wheels. You told me that was nonsense. Problem is you are wrong.
Instead of convincing yourself you are the smartest person on FR (see your tag line) maybe you should pay attention and LEARN for a change.
Now piss off and quit sticking your nose into things you are not capable of thinking through.
