I wouldn't rule out the possibility, especially if the vehicle in
question is under powered.

When I worked in Canberra I had a 190km journey one-way to get to
work. I kid you not, 180km of that trip was done without touching the
brake pedal unless an emergency situation arose (roos etc). In fact
most of it was done with the foot mashed into the go pedal.
