When I first heard excerpts of the 911 operator and the driver (on the evening news), I thought it odd that the 911 operation kept telling him to shift the gear to neutral and the guy kept talking about how fast he was going and that the breaks are not working, over and over again -- either he would not or did not want to put the car into neutral.
We own a Camry and a Prius and it is quite easy to shift into neutral. We've even practiced it on the road a few times, just in case.
Tonight, there was a follow up news report on NBC, on the guy in the San Diego Prius story -- that basically something in his story was not credible.
