I was on my way down to Kerry the day before Paddy's Day and my accelerator got stuck 
Long story short the car wouldn't stop accelerating on the busy N7 at 18.00. I was coming up on a white van at 120km first and then soon went up to 180km. After sh***ing myself and the cable eventually gave some slack, I managed to get the car to stop on the side of the road.
After checking it out it turns out the throttle cable has become frayed.....and this is all without warning!! Has anyone ever had this problem before? I will need to order a new throttle cable and get it fixed. But just wondering if this is extremely rare case????

father look at me a gave a little grin as if to say well i know i shouldn't........... but fook it 
lights went green the aul lad floored it and left the bm for dead 
he went to snatch 3rd gear when the throttle cable jammed wide open! he stuck it in 3rd and switched the ignition off as cool as ya like and pulled into the lay-by, got out and freed the cable, i could tell he was disgusted as he would have loved to be sitting at the lights for when the bm pulled up
