kind of eerie listening to the video as now I know what its like to be going 80 mph out of control for several seconds knowing you're about to hit something

at 120 a ebrake still does something, not 2 much tho, but your normal breaks + ABS will do alot and if u add in the ebrake and a divider or wall, or the car infront of u, your gonna stop. plus if your driving 75 and teh car starts getting outa control , stopping should be first instinct.. anyway thats aside the issue.. i think this is the problem with the toyota car pedal getting stuck down, thats why they are doing a massive recall on almost all toyota models.. but nolan fyi its not the same on any lexus or scion models so no recall

they are doing recall on my buddies lexus es 350 year 97 because of this problem. i also believe that the newer designed toyotas dont let you go into neutral when accelerating to avoid high rpms and messing up the engine.

if you pull an ebrake going 120 wont you lose control of the car pretty quickly?

Also people do you realize that pulling the hand brake at 120mph is going to be mmm.. interesting to say the least.
If the car wont let me change gears (its very likely it didnt as a transmission protection system), thy throwing the keys out of the car, maybe it will shut down when the car detects the keys out of range.
If it still fails you open the fuse box and start pulling them out.

this is actually a good idea. i'm pretty sure this does work.

no at 120 a normal ebrake wont do much at all, actually some cars have it set to not engage at all if at high speeds, but most cars it will help slow it down but not just lock the back wheels and start a skid or anything like that.
One other thing, in my moms toyota prius if you hit the parking break, it will just lock it, moving or not, ive done it on accident and i was very suprised it didnt break the car, so thats an option, its just the parking break button.

and about that, ive driven my moms prius all around without the keys anywhere around, i think ive gone 20 miles before and it didnt shut off.

There is no way you can slow down a car accelerating with the hand brake, the rear brakes do less than 20% of the breaking and not even the 4 fully working breaks can overpower an accelerting engine.
So basically, pull the hand brake not very hard, the car wont slow down at all, pull it very hard you will lock the wheels spinning out of control.

I'd rather go spinning out of control, hit the curb, and start flipping end over end than just t-bone someone at a full 120mph and kill whoever else is in the car too. And I think this guy was on the freeway at first yes? Not sure how he encountered an intersection, unless the freeway just ends into surface streets. Regardless freeway barrier's are designed to deflect impacts and straighten a car out. You wont go crashing over it or begin flipping or anything like that. With your front wheels angled full force into it your car would probably come grinding down to 30 mph if not buckling underneath and disabling the car. Regardless ANYTHING is better than NOTHING. I mean who calls 911? Wtf is that supposed to do?
And I can hate on this guy all i want, because I've been in his exact situation and I IMMEDIATELY knew what to do. Even under worst case scenario, like a push button ignition which wont turn off and brakes that wont engage for some reason, I would just put my car into the median or some other shit. I refuse to believe this guy sustain 120mph on surface streets surrounded by palm trees and school children where he had absolutely no option other than to drive straight forward. I feel bad for him, but cmon "im going 120, im going 120.. (60 seconds elapse) I see an intersection... im going straight for it.... ahhhh!!"
bye now

that last part and his voice not freaking out is what makes me think its not real.. but i guess everyone says it is.

baal me and u r prolly the 2 of the biggest car nerds on here and weve both seen people lock wheels under braking, they dont just start spinning crazy the second u pull it.. and at high speeds on most car it is only going to add to helping you stop, it should not be able to lock the wheels, basically if i couldnt turn the car off or put it in neutral or unjam the pedal, i would get really close to a cement wall or divider of there is one, rip ebrake, slam normal brakes and if there was a wall, try and loose some speed by rubbing on it, but that may be the most dangerous part, ive seen people just tap walls on the freeway and just start flying off the wall after they hit it.. but in any case, if you do start spinning, your car should come to a stop after the airbags deploy there is a safety thing that shuts shit down, or if you spin you will just start burning out and at least ur not doing 120+ anymore... i duno its a pretty crazy situation to get in anyway.. i submitted the whole story to myth busters so hopefully they will do it on the show lol

it is pretty hard to say what is better, flipping a bunch of times... spinning to a side impact are the biggest factors in death because it tears your thoracic aorta. You may look fine enough once it stops but will bleed to death internally. this problem seems worse than Fords problem with those firestorm tires that kept blowing up on suvs

i assume youre talking automatic, is it actually possible to switch to neutral at that speed on a manual? And what would happen to the car if u did?
