mikemod Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 As they say don't try this at home. I was sitting in my car yesterday, "D" selected on the DSG and right foot on brake. My wife asked me for something and I realised it was in my pocket and couldn't get it so I opened the door and jumped out of the car. Car was still in "D" so it started to move off closing in on a wall Just managed to reach in and flick the lever to "N", my wife had been trying to apply the handbrake with no effect except the beeper going off to say the handbrake was applied while moving At least the beeper didn't go off to tell me my seat belt wasn't fastened, where's the beeper to say "DRIVER MISSING" All this with a broken left foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Glad you managed to stop it in time. Reminds me of all those police stop type programs were american auto's sometimes drop into gear when left idling and start going round and round in circles with police flying in all directions to try and stop them.
