Right. It's freaking smug to think that you would have been sooo much smarter and killed the engine. The latest accident was a car driven by a highway patrolman, not a Sunday driver.
I think it depends, if you are used to driving standard, shifting into neutral might occur to you. If you're used to automatic, no way. I'm really surpirsed that when I hear stories about this, no one is screaming - "if this happens shift into neurtal" especially Toyota
