You've got to be kidding me. This is almost as stupid as the Prius videos. Even if your car is Auto, you can slide it into Neutral without a doubt. You can also turn the car off (and no it doesn't need to be in park, I've accidentally done it a few times haha)......Put your foot on the brake, ease onto your ebrake, and put the car in Neutral. This lady is a retarded.

Clearly not a male driver

Ahahahahah, awesome, she tried everything!!! Besides hitting the brake, and for 35 mins, lol

Brakes probably would have been toast if at full throttle on motorway (works if stationary and doing a stall test) due to low temp street brake pads, etc. Supposedly she couldn't shift trans into neutral and probably trans ECU wouldn't let her due to TPS that's connected to throttle (fly by wire on new cars?)??? I know autotrans ECU looks at TPS to know when to shift gear and combine that with speed of car, probably would have made autotrans ECU make trans stay in a higher gear. Also there might be other reasons the auto trans didn't shift.

I can see that lifting throttle, pulling on handbrake would have worked, as probably had no brake pads.

I wonder if the driver gets a speeding ticket????

Sounds like the woman that called 911 because she locked herself in her car.

lol or dialed 911 and came up with a really good excuse as to why she didn't deserve a ticket
Regardless, kinda scary a car can do that. That's why I like my rides pre 2000

I know someone who works as a 911 receptionist and she told me that she once received a call from someone asking for the time. And I'm not joking.
