Explanation
When the gas pedal is jammed, keep your eyes on the road and immediately take your foot off the gas pedal. If your vehicle has a manual transmission, press the clutch. If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, shift into neutral. Use the brakes gently and only if necessary. Pull off the road when it is safe to do so.
