But the vehicle isn't moving. The front wheels are locked. Furthermore, how many Toyotas will do what is happening in the picture. I'll say this as a crash investigator and know that I'm going to catch it for saying it, but anyone that can't figure out what to do in a supposed sudden acceleration has no business driving. I'm standing by for all the slings and arrows.

Correct. Static friction is clearly stronger than sliding friction.

Yep. No business driving but they have their licenses.
