When the driver of a vehicle is shot, otherwise killed, or rendered unconscious and instantly suffers a muscle spasm that extends the driver's leg, pushing the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. Then instant rigor mortis sets in, keeping it there. Naturally, this causes the vehicle to accelerate to ludicrous speed*No, not that kind of Ludicrous Speed, putting anyone in the way of this driving dead man at mortal risk. Common to action movies and driving games. Sometimes justified if the throttle or accelerator is a hand control, and the driver slumps over it, holding it open or down. Subversions may involve the presence of a Dead Man's Switch. Subtrope of Disposable Pilot. Related to Runaway Train. Sister Trope to Dead Man Honking. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

In Company of Heroes, this is what happens to all "killed" vehicles that don't blow up outright, instead going "Out of Control" and aimlessly barging forwards before exploding on contact with the first obstacle. This can lead to an amusing sight of reversing vehicles instantly jerking into forward motion at full speed without as much as a slowdown, as if they bounced off something invisible. | |

House frequently approaches this trope, although the characters usually have become unconscious or lost muscle control. In season 2, for example, two consecutive episodes ("Need to Know" and "Distractions") started with the main patient driving a vehicle and dramatically hitting the accelerator at a key moment from their illnesses. | |

James Bond In the climax of Thunderball, a dying Largo falls on the controls of his hydrofoil and jams them, forcing Bond & Co. to jump overboard, all so they can end the scene with Stuff Blowing Up when the hydrofoil hits the rocks. Live and Let Die. Bond's driver gets shot with a poison dart that causes exactly this reaction. Of course, it presumably was a special kind of poison with specific plot-related symptoms. |

Not death but shock induced in Robin when Dury Walker tries to carjack Ives. Ives goes into shock and floors the accelerator, blanking out Tim yelling at him that he can stop now. After he blows through an intersection Tim knocks his foot aside with his own, jerks the car over to the curb and stomps on the brakes before helping Ives and calling the cops. | |

Used in Metal Slug 2 and X (its remake) during the train level where some enemies in motorboats fire missiles at you. Even if you kill the driver, they just slump over on the controls and the attack persists. It isn't until you destroy the boat you get em off your back. | |

A variation occurs in Maverick. Maverick, Annabelle, and Coop are riding a stagecoach, when the driver dies, and the horses, left without input keep running at full speed, straight toward a cliff. The others make Maverick climb up on top to stop the horses, which, since the reins are dragging on the ground, he has to do by jumping onto the team's lead pair and pull back on them. | |

Sorta happens in 1000 Ways to Die. In case #412 ("Re-Tried"), an old man died behind the wheel of his classic Chrysler during his daily ritual of sitting in the driver's seat and reminiscing about his life. The car's parking brake fails shortly afterward, and it rolls down the street and strikes a bank robber fleeing the scene of one of his crimes, killing him. | |

Five Graves to Cairo opens with a single British tank aimlessly trundling across the desert. The reason it is aimlessly trundling is that four of the five crewmen have been overcome by carbon monoxide after the tank's exhaust was damaged in combat, including the tank driver, slumped dead against the controls. Cpl. Bramble, who is the protagonist, makes it out Just in Time. | |

The subway train in the film Speed. The opposite effect of a real deadman's switch, which would stop the train. Inverted when the original bus driver gets shot. Not only doesn't he die, but they have to get a new driver in the seat and keep her from going below 50 (and Keanu hasn't told 'em there's a bomb on the bus yet). |

The Town: When the Atlantic armoured car driver attempts to escape from Fenway Park, Doug jams his automatic rifle through the gun port and blazes away. The driver is killed and the armoured car keeps driving and crashes into the police lines. | |

In Warhammer 40,000, the Orks have a table you roll on when a Trukk is destroyed with results ranging from "keeps going for a ways before toppling over" to "zooms off a ways and explodes". | |

New Police Story had a driver that, when killed, not only slammed on the gas but certainly swerved to maximize damage and drama. | |

The Subway in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. The fact that there is no preventive measure for such a thing here makes Big Blue's speech about public transportation being the safest way to travel slightly comical. | |

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has your character briefly steering a car from the passenger seat because the driver was shot and apparently ragdolled onto the accelerator. Likewise, in Call Of Duty Classic, Soldier of Fortune II, and other games on the id Tech 3 engine, vehicles whose driver has been killed keep driving until they run off the road and crash, or have their engine destroyed. |

Star Wars Rebels. In "Rebel Resolve", our heroes jump from a captured AT-ST walker to the Ghost just as the turret blows up. The remains of the walker take a few steps forward and collide with the walker in front, knocking it on its side so it can't fire on the escaping Ghost. | |

Happens in JFK: Reloaded if you kill the limo driver. Sometimes he manages to turn the steering wheel a little bit too, most often resulting in the presidential limo crashing into the side of a building, killing everyone else in the vehicle and tossing their bodies out onto the sidewalk and street. | |

The aviation equivalent happens in Whiteout. The Soviet pilot catches a stray bullet in the back of the head and slumps forward on the control yoke; putting the plane into a nosedive. | |

Happens in Grand Theft Auto IV if the driver of a car is killed. In Grand Theft Auto V, it also happens when the player takes out the pilot of an aircraft when it's in mid-air. Though subverted in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, albeit still a lateral move in terms of realism: killing a driver will cause the car to immediately brake to a screechy stop before ejecting the corpse. |

In the climax of Thunderball, a dying Largo falls on the controls of his hydrofoil and jams them, forcing Bond & Co. to jump overboard, all so they can end the scene with Stuff Blowing Up when the hydrofoil hits the rocks. | |
