Well with that in mind I move my opinion to this bloke being a complete Wally. He probably panicked and just didn't think to try the gearstick or the key. Can't say I blame him for that, but to lie about it.

Bingo Airmon, you hit the nail on the head in one single word.
Why do people panick? Because they don't know what to do.
It never ceass to amaze me the number of people driving vehicles on the road that lack the basic knowledge of what to do in case of emergency.

Does it not scare you people, that here is one half witted metro sexual idiot driving a two tonne bohemouth, on our streets, without a single clue? I wonder how many times this "cough, cough....Bloke", has driven this thing on a dirt road, let alone a beaten track. how many more of these posing tossers are out there?
My other question is why the hell was he using cruise control on the eastern freeway in busy weekday traffic to begin with? I bet this is the kind of tool that drives down a well lit surburban street at night.....with his high beams on. :

Now I'm not sure with this thing originally being a yank tank,(perhaps some other explorer owning members can confirm) but wouldn't the fuse panel be accessable from the drivers seat??? open it up and start pulling fuses, one or some of them is bound to stop the car.
