French driver trapped for an hour in speeding 125mph car with no brakes | World news | The Guardian
Couldn't he put it in neutral and turn off the ignition? Or was he enjoying the ride?

Puzzled motorists gave way as the high-speed convoy approached. Three toll stations were warned to raise their barriers as Lecerf ploughed through. After about an hour, his petrol tank spluttered empty and he managed to swerve into a ditch in Alveringem in Belgium, about 125 miles from his home, in Pont-de-Metz, near the northern French city of Amiens.
"My life flashed before me," he told Le Courrier picard. "I just wanted it to stop." He was unhurt but had two epileptic seizures.
I think an American lawyer has moved to France recently?
Nothing in this story makes sense......A Renault technician couldn't find neutral? Guessing this was one of the ones with the card and pushbutton start. Pretty sure all push to start cars require you to hold the button to kill the engine while in gear for a set time, he was probably frantically pushing the button and didn't RTFM.
never understood what is wrong with having a key.
