On another note......when the accelerator gets stuck like that, sometimes it's best to simply turn the key OFF rather than fight the brakes and the engine.
The problem is most folks will turn the key not to OFF but to LOCK, now you have no steering... Some (Few) folks do have the prsence of mind to hit OFF without LOCK.. and of course if the tranny is interlocked that will help.. And some vehicles have a safety you need to press to hit LOCK.. (But I press it without thinking when I'm driving such a ride) .
