Stopping a runaway vehicle

This clip has absolutely nothing to do with this class (or does it?), other than perhaps helping someone arrive safely, but I think with the current media attention on runaway vehicles, this may help one of us.

As I think about it, the clip could also be used in the classroom as both informational and perhaps as a pre-writing exercise involving emotions.

Show the clip and then ask, "How would you feel if the car you were in suddenly started going faster and faster?" then write ....

Or perhaps the reverse, pose the question have brainstorming, write some quick impressions and then show the clip.

(Because not all ESL students drive, I avoided using "driving" and substituted "were in.")
