For SUVs, do you think there should be a special class of license? Should drivers be required to have more training?
Thank you for this comment :

I tried the brakes (no help), then slammed the accelerator to the floor a couple times, like I was taught in drivers ed so many years ago, and control returned to normal.

What was the logic behind slamming the accelerator? Was the idea to loosen a stuck throttle cable by giving it slack? On one hand, a drive-by-wire car wouldn't have a "throttle cable" to unstick. On the other hand, different driver input could trigger different logic in the ECU/PCM, so the end-result could be the same.
I don't remember this advice in Driver's Ed (back in 1983!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), so I will add it to my list.
