Don't go around calling people morons.

BUT, it's your responsibility to prepare yourself and throttle sticking is not something new for mechanical configurations. AAMOF, it can happen fairly easily depending on conditions.

I do think that it should be part of a standard driving test/pass though. That combined with being able to change your own flat tire like they do in parts of Europe. People have become so helpless.
