Bernard was able to slow the car down to 50–60 mph (80–97 km/h) with the brakes, but was only able to bring the car to a complete stop after putting the ...
A snowblower’s clearing width and intake height determines how much snow it can move with each pass. The larger the snowblowers intake, the more quickly you can get the job done.
Idle creep, sometimes called idle speed or just creep [citation needed] is the default speed that a vehicle with an automatic transmission will move either forward or in reverse when the change lever is in D for drive or R for reverse and the foot is taken off the brake pedal but the accelerator pedal is not depressed.
Snow blowers can generally be divided into two classes: single-stage and two-stage. On a single-stage snow blower, the auger (the paddle mechanism visible from the front) pulls snow into the machine and directs it out of a discharge chute. The auger contacts the ground, making single-stage snow blowers unsuitable for use on unpaved surfaces.

The most expensive option, but necessary when there are no nearby places to dump the snow, is to haul it away (known as the loading stage).
The throttle, which controls fuel and air supply to the engine and is also known as the "accelerator" or "gas pedal", is normally the right-most floor pedal. It has a fail-safe design – a spring, which returns it to the idle position when not depressed by the driver.
