Korea Taxi Driver Unexpected Acceleration

[Yewheng]

Don't panic and shift gear to N and brake to stop.

 

Never off engine when encounter unintended acceleration when car is moving as engine off will lose braking power.

 

Causes of unintended acceleration for cars of older model.

U shift to N engine still running still got brake n power steering.

 

U off engine then no brake n power steering. Worse is yr steering lock then u cannot turn steering at all.

 

Then u DIE.

[Shift_lock]

Shift to N got no engine braking but can still use brakes and more importantly power steering still works so it's much better than off engine.

Selespeed system prevents it going to N if speed is above 40km/hr.

But selespeed system have a safety feature, it breaks down before it reaches 40km/hr.

so you mean once your car reaches 40km/h your gearbox will break down?

[Heartbreakid]

When the car has unintended acceleration, engine braking is unspeakable since it is already stuck into accelerate mode... Wise to change to Neutral and brake and let the engine over-rev and blew itself but one got their life saved at least.

[Bigbadguy]

Engine wont blow la. got rev cut for most cars. After successfully braking, turn off engine immediatly. Yeah turning to N is a better option den turning off the engine.

wow....in the least the harm done is minimum.

[Caravan]

Switch to neutral and slam on brakes?

 

I thought it's mentioned the car will stop even if you fully press both brakes and accelerator (in the toyota acceleration case)?

[ER-3682]

"Maybe" something really wrong with the Korean Taxi's,S'pore also got a few cases of "Lost Control",also Hyundai/Kia models.

[Mcscot]

Huh?! Kia and Hyundai? Which models? I am getting concerned ...

[Vega]

why didn't the cabby try the hand brake?

[Brobear]

Change gear to neutral or switch off the car?

[Pocus]

Yes neutral handbrake and off engine we all know the drill, but if things happen all a sudden at the most unexpected time, your brain tend to freeze for like a few seconds and act on instinct before logic takes over...

[Kangadrool]

some cars no handbrake.....

 

some cars e-parking brake, how?

 

 

some cars you switch off engine = no electrical supply to power steering = steering wheel will lock up = no steering control.
