STEERING LOCKED while doing 50 mph

[emeldahay]

I ran out of petrol while driving - first thing I noticed was a loss of power - then I try to pull over and realise the H2s gone dead - the steering locks up like its parked - Yanking it quite hard made little change to direction.

Luckily I was able to just brake without killing the person behind - and more luckily I wasnt going round a corner.

Is this a special feature of H2s? If you stupid enough to run out of petrol you deserve to die type thing???

Ive never run out of petrol beforewhile driving - maybe all cars do this but killing the steering is more than a little dangerous.

Any advice apart from dont run out of gas?
