When a pedal, a light, a wheel or a tire fails

MTO Driver’s Handbook: Safe and Responsible Driving, If your gas pedal sticks; If your headlights go out; If your wheels go off the pavement; If a tire blows out

If your gas pedal sticks, first try to lift the pedal by slipping your foot under it. Do not reach down with your hands while the vehicle is moving. If this does not work, turn on your hazard lights, shift to neutral and stop as soon as you safely can, preferably off the road. Turn off the ignition and do not drive away. Call for help.
