How about just turning the key off? That would kill the engine and
the problem would go away. You are correct in your assessment that
everyone in the broadcast business is a clueless idiot. They can't be
bothered to research the subject.

Many vehicles these days do NOT use keys. The car in question didnt
have a key..but a "start button"..and to shut it down requires one to
press it for up to 4 seconds.

You just got here..right ?

Actually you just have to pust the button with the brakes applied. And he
most likely was stomping on the brakes to slow down the car. So he
probably did not push the off button.


maybe, or maybe the software had locked up and nothing would do the trick -
there is no real "off" switch anywhere so you are depending on the software
working correctly at all times.
