Agree or Disagree

Not putting a vehicle with an engine at full throttle in neutral is somewhat instinctive, and they would have to fight those first instincts. I have seen it on the race track, and real life drivers aren't as experienced, in general, as race drivers.

race drivers AND, I would have expected, a long time California Highway Patrol officer - whose job was driving and, as I recall, is trained in the art of driving as part of the job.

It's beyond me how, with his experience, he couldn't have stopped that car ... but somehow, he was not able to. That is the issue in all this that worries me the most. I suggest we all plan ahead and practice for unexpected situations.
