If your accelerator sticks while driving, the first step is to remain calm and focused. Immediately shift the transmission into neutral to disengage the engine from the wheels, allowing you to coast to a safe stop. Avoid slamming on the brakes, as this can cause a loss of control. Instead, gently apply the brakes once you have shifted to neutral, gradually slowing down. Use your hazard lights to signal other drivers about the situation. Once you’ve come to a stop, turn off the engine and safely exit the vehicle. Seek professional assistance to diagnose and repair the issue causing the accelerator to stick before driving again. Regular vehicle maintenance can help prevent such emergencies, so schedule routine check-ups to ensure your car’s safety systems are functioning correctly.
