What should you do if you are driving and your gas pedal becomes stuck?

Brake firmly to stop the vehicle.
Pump the accelerator pedal repeatedly.
Shift into neutral and steer to a safe location.
Increase your speed to try and dislodge the pedal.

The correct answer is: Shift into neutral and steer to a safe location.

It is important to remain calm and act quickly if your gas pedal becomes stuck while driving. Option A of braking firmly may cause your wheels to lock up and make it difficult to steer, potentially causing an accident. Option B of pumping the accelerator pedal repeatedly will only accelerate your vehicle even more. Option D of increasing your speed will only make the situation more dangerous. The best course of action is to shift into neutral, as this will disengage the engine from the wheels and allow you to safely steer your vehicle to a safe location. Remember to also turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers of your situation.
