What should you do if your vehicle's accelerator pedal becomes stuck?

Slam on the brakes repeatedly.
Shift into neutral and steer to a safe location.
Turn off the ignition immediately.
Pump the accelerator pedal vigorously.

The correct answer is: Shift into neutral and steer to a safe location.

If the accelerator pedal becomes stuck, it is important to remain calm and not panic. Slamming on the brakes repeatedly (A) can cause the wheels to lock up and potentially lead to a loss of control. Turning off the ignition immediately (C) may cause the steering wheel to lock, making it difficult to steer the vehicle. Pumping the accelerator pedal vigorously (D) can potentially worsen the situation and may cause the pedal to break. Shifting into neutral and steering to a safe location (B) is the best option as it allows you to safely come to a stop without causing any further damage or danger.
