For someone who has been in that actual situation, yes it is not that hard all I did was shift her into neutral and turn the engine of and glide it to the side of the road. It is easy for him to call people stupid, but then again he was on a straight road with no traffic. Try having this happen to you downtown Toronto like it did to me. I was not driving a prius i was driving a venza, but the venza had the same problem, and this happened to me in the summer before toyota discovered this.
