Re: Jeep vs Pedestrian accident
Generally, when I get a racing motor, I just go ahead and shut off the
engine. Putting the Jeep in gear seems like an incredibly stupid thing
to do. I must be missing some HUGE piece of this puzzle.

Re: Jeep vs Pedestrian accident
I also find it hard to believe someone could be that stupid. Putting a
racing engine in gear makes no sense at all.

A friend of mine had installed a cruise control unit in his vehicle.
Once he had the throttle stick open as he turned into a parking space.
No incident, he shut it off. The next time it happened on the highway as
he turned onto another road. No incident either, he shut it off and
pulled over. Restarted it, it raced. He found that the little chain on
his cruise control would swing over, under g-force, and hang under a
protrusion.

A friend of mine had installed a cruise control unit in his vehicle.
Once he had the throttle stick open as he turned into a parking space.
No incident, he shut it off. The next time it happened on the highway as
he turned onto another road. No incident either, he shut it off and
pulled over. Restarted it, it raced. He found that the little chain on
his cruise control would swing over, under g-force, and hang under a
protrusion.
