I dunno about you guys but every time I help someone learn to drive (and when I learned to drive), one of the things we practice is putting the car in neutral and firmly but gently pulling the e-brake. You never know when you won’t be able to control your gas or brake pedal. It makes me upset that such serious accidents could be caused by a lack of such basic information… ---

Its total BS that this country hands out a drivers license without even basic automobile knowledge…let alone knowing the rules of the road or what to do in emergency situations. I just asked a coworker what he would do if the accelerator stuck…and he thought you had to hit the brakes in order to put the car in neutral. And I’m sure there are many more people who don’t even know what that “N” position is on the shifter. And I won’t even get into the retarded things I’ve seen people do on the road. I consider myself lucky every time I share the road with these people that I still haven’t been in a wreck. ---

^ I completely agree. It is absolutely terrible how nearly all drivers on the road lack such basic automobile knowledge. The road test is FAR, FAR too easy, and has nothing to do with automobile knowledge. They’re testing if you can drive straight without killing yourself, thats about it. ---

I’ve said this multiple times in the past but…I am for periodic road tests. There are far too many fucking rejects on the roads these days. Either too stupid or too ignorant of other drivers. ---

> Now the **Japanese government has ordered Toyota** to investigate the braking system on the 2010 Prius. The U.S. government is also looking into the matter after receiving over 100 complaints about the brakes on the third-generation hybrid. Like most other hybrids, the Prius uses an electro-hydraulic brake system that blends the regenerative and friction braking functions. There have apparently been dozens of complaints in Japan and North America of a momentary loss of braking power at low speeds on slick or bumpy road surfaces. > **[Report: Toyota Prius brakes under investigation by Japanese, U.S. governments...](https://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/03/report-toyota-prius-brakes-under-investigation-by-japanese-gove/)** > > 2010 Toyota Prius – Click above for high-res image gallery ---

Anyone remember this video? From the sounds of the engine bouncing off the limiter, it sounds like the throttle was stuck… Not to mention the guy didn’t know to turn the car off, even though the cop kept telling him what to do. ---
