Man ‘forced to drive electric car into police van’ in Scotland after brakes fail

Short and concise statement from Police Scotland:<p>&gt; Around 10.35pm on Sunday 1 October, we received a report of a driver unable to stop his electric car on the A803 heading towards Kirkintilloch. The car was travelling at a low speed and officers carried out a controlled halt with the aid of a police vehicle. There was no damage to either vehicle. The driver arranged for the vehicle to be recovered

I know nothing of electric vehicles, but couldn’t he turn the vehicle off?

For others who may have been curious like me:<p><i>MG Motor UK Limited (MG Motor) is an automotive company owned by SAIC Motor UK, headquartered in London, owned by the Shanghai-based Chinese state-owned automaker SAIC Motor.</i> [0]<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;MG_Motor" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;MG_Motor</a>

I wonder what happened here. Isn&#x27;t it a requirement for cars to have emergency brakes for situations when the normal method of braking fails?

I guess Toyota is not the only car that moves forward even after you break.
