Especially an experienced driver like a highway patrolman. 5 seconds?

Automatic, keyless ignition. neutral ????

Say your accelerator jammed
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Chris Whelan saying something like: Official VAG workshop training for a runaway diesel is to try to throw water into the air intake to stall it. If this fails, evacuate the workshop and wait for the bang. Old bugger I knew related a story of a marine diesel used as a generator driver in the Sudan. It started to run away, so he took several belts at the inj pump with a sledge hammer, to no avail (probably sump oil burning at that point). He then ran away, along with everybody else and waited for the crunching banging noises which happened not long afterwards. Apparently some flying bits took down the shed roof.
