How about, if when you and I are each driving our new Toyotas, and we both have an unintended acceleration incident, we both go for neutral and the brakes, simultaneously? We can both agree that both actions would help. 
Now all I need is a Toyota, with an automatic transmission (since my fictional Toyota would have had a manual so I would have just gone for the clutch in any case)
