Pop in neutral, hit e brake, brake and pull over and turn off the engine and inspect. If you think the improvement is .minimal then you have no real experience with cars. Sorry, been driving and working on cars for 20 years bro.

You just told people to hit the e brake that is terribly advice, the e brake is for parking and if your brakes fail to have as a backup. We're not in a fast and the furious movie vin diesel!
Oh and I have 25 yrs of experience working and driving cars, I added this because this is an irrelevant piece of information on knowledge of vehicles. I know people with 50 years of driving and working on cars who think they know stuff but they are fucking useless.

I think Mr. Toretto is imagining a situation where the accelerator is stuck and the brakes are failing right when he's speeding towards a cliff, instead of the much more likely situation where somebody takes their foot off the gas while driving and the pedal doesn't come up.

Telling people to use the emergency brake when it's not necessary is really bad advice. It should only be used when the car is in motion if the brake pedal isn't working as it can cause you to lose control of your car.
I've been driving and working on cars for 35 years and am fairly certain you are lying about your experience based on that shitty nugget of advice alone. Why the fuck would you use the e-brake with working brakes and the car in neutral?
