Im sorry but I can think of so many ways to stop the car. But simply just kill the ignition.

Guy is a retard. Simply turn ignition off but don't turn the key back all the way rendering the steering wheel useless.

Perhaps putting car in neutral is another option or manually down shifting to a lower gear.
Some people really need to know their cars..

well, if you hold the brakes on when a car is wide open they will overheat and just fade. Try making 3 or 4 hard stops (not locking the tires up but just appling them hard from like 80kmh) and see how well they work on the third time compared to the first. Thats called brake fadding where the rotor and pads overheat and will emit a gas which will prevent the rotor and pad from making full contact with each other. This is why drilled and slotted rotors are so popular for racing use, the holes alow the gas to escape and the slots scrape off the overheated material. Anyways thats you lecture for tonight

The brakes didnt fail. AS it said in the article the brakes were keeping him at 70mph. But they soon faded
