if the motorways I use are anything to go by, this problem is very widespread, and not confined to Renaults. In fact, it seems to be most prevalent in vehicles from one of the countries which borders France both alphabeticaly and geographically.

Typical French idiot. The car did not take control of his clutch leg (the clutch is hydrolic, not electronic)
|
The article said the french bloke did try the clutch but it did nothing:
A shaken Gamada continued: "I was asked to do one of three things: disengage the clutch, which didn't work; press the start button five times - again, nothing; override the speed control box - still nothing."

Apparently the last one was down to the driver being an attention seeker. Find it hard to believe that he couldn't push the clutch. Naturally, Renault won't be able to find anything wrong.
Speaking of drivers, I nearly crashed today after a BMW overtook me and then - wait for it - signalled before politely pulling in. He obviously specified the indicators as an extra.

Does anybody remember the lorry driver who lost his brakes on the M1 a few years ago where he rang for help causing the police to waste time stopping him or something?
