I wish there were an official word as to what to do in the case the accelerator gets stuck.

If by pressing the ignition on/off button for at least three seconds, it acts as a kill-switch, then it would not be necessary to shift into neutral, as by the car being in gear it would help in stopping it. (that's my opinion)

Also, what happens to the steering wheel ?? Does turning off the engine lock it ?? Does it fold back ??
