If the steering is low enough geared. Most wouldn't like that on a car.

I don't think many people have driven a car where the PS has stopped
working..
sure they are very heavy when stationary, that's because you are trying
to move a couple of patches of tyre in contact with the ground..
once it is moving, even slowly, it is much easier to turn as you are no
longer having to overcome all the tyre friction.

Happened on my XJS and lost the power brakes as well.

It was drivable yes, but it was almost unstoppable and almost undrivable
due to the heavy steering - a jag has a quick rack and BIG wheels.

Even at speed, which I didnt dare use due to the fact I physically could
not stamp on the brakes hard enough to stop it.
