    An old friend back in the mid 90's uneducated like some of us were was using the throttle control on his Toyota hilux on a long trip as cruise control.

    Note: dangerous, do not do this!

    Long straight for a many kms on a highway and up came a long warning for a very sharp bend recommendation to drop to 50km/h

    Undid the control and it popped out and was still locked on at 110 km/h

    Not far off the bend and screams came on the uhf of trouble and advice to turn engine off.

    He turned ignition switch all the way off though and had steering lock in which another cry for help came on radio lol
