How To Stop A Runaway Vehicle?

http://www.wnem.com/news/22794596/detail.html

So, what should you do if your car suddenly accelerates? Here are ways to stop the vehicle, according to Toyota:

Step on the brake pedal with both feet using firm and steady pressure. Do not pump the brakes.
Shift the transmission gear selector into neutral. Use the brakes to make a controlled stop by the side of the road.
If you're unable to put the vehicle in neutral, turn off the engine. This will cut off power assist to the steering wheel and brakes, but as long as the key is in the ignition, you will still be able to steer and brake.
If you have an engine start/stop button, press it firmly for three seconds to turn the engine off. Do not tap it. If you have a conventional key ignition, turn the ignition key to the ACC position. Do not remove the key from the ignition.

That's it.... Slam on the brakes and get ass ended....that's the answer.
They should have just put the car in neutral, and coasted to the side of the road with the engine revving. That way they have steering and brakes.

My mom has an 09 Camry. We practiced putting the car in neutral while she was driving.
And when all else fails.... head for the corn field and bury the sum-bitch in the mud.

By the way...I firmly believe since day one that the Prius run away was nothing but an attention starved man.

I can't seem to grasp how all these people suddenly forgot the basics of a car. Either Neutral, or shut it off, what's the trick? It just seems so obvious to me.
