Your test is a bit flawed - you would have to increase the revs and hold it at a set 2500 while pushing the brakes.

Yes I agree he had plenty of time and all the pros would know what to do but he was stressing out thinking he was going to die - so he panicked and couldnt do the thinks the pro would have done without even thinking twice

er if the throttle is jammed on hit neutral and brake and yes xfs had power steering accross the range as standard and aircon but no abs and no cruise.

its simple if one applies logic to it brake and hit neutral (revs will remain spinning powersteer etc its JAMMED) and when car stops turn the key to off - the fact the car in question has electrical driver aids is irrelevant

and on the ABS you are embarrassing yourself there the pedal sinks and brakes applied as normal, if you mash pedal to floor the pedal sinks further and abs engages stopping vehicle when you get off brakes if you dont mash the anchor pedal again it will brake what is this pressure crap of which you speak? I took my AU out after I read your statement now and deliberately braked hard didnt stop then got off brakes and almost straight back on only not as hard - they worked normally :
