A friend of mine sent me this link about a BMW 318’s accelerator and he hit top speed and his brakes failed, but he survived! I was kind of shocked that happened. I dont want to give out details, but you can read the article:

Telegraph Link

What I would have done:

• Not given a damn about the car, thrown it into neutrel and scrapping it against the barrier of the A1 to slow the car to a hault.
