Sorry, my tone was unintended: the part I meant to emphasize is that your brakes should be powerful enough to overpower the engine, even if it is stuck at full throttle. If they can't, something is wrong with your brakes.

Ah you're good. For whatever reason my weird brain was taking it to imply that the brakes may not necessarily be able to do that and was like wtf that seems dangerous.

In most cars, the accelerator is easier to press down fully than the brake pedal. Apply the same force required to floor it to the brake pedal (or even double) and the car will go.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

You're not incorrect, but that's the wrong comparison to make. If the car is accelerating out of control and you're trying to stop it, you're not going to press the brake as hard as you would the accelerator; you're going to press the brake as hard as you can (which, unless you're old and frail, is a lot harder).
