Explanation
If the gas pedal becomes stuck, keep your eyes on the road and hook your toe under it to try to free it. If it does not become free, press the clutch if you have a manual transmission, or shift into neutral if you have an automatic transmission. If necessary, gently press the brakes to slow your vehicle and carefully pull off the road when it is safe to do so. Finally, turn off the ignition.
