Correct answer
Stop pressing the accelerator and reduce speed using engine braking.
Release the accelerator and progressively select suitable lower gears to use engine braking, remaining calm and in control. Do not pull the handbrake abruptly or deliberately cause a crash. Engine braking does not guarantee a complete stop, especially on a slope; seek a safe stop, warn of danger and follow manufacturer emergency instructions. Once stopped, do not continue and seek assistance.
