Computer says "no" - what would you do?

Occasionally I get this with a learner. They'll push the brake instead of the accelerator, and stall the car because it won't move. After a restart, they push the brake harder, thinking it is the accelerator, getting more and more cross at it. Getting them to let go, pause and think can sometimes be difficult. Can upset following traffic, but with a fully liveried AA school car, there is a clue we might not act as expected.
Not had one push the accelerator full down yet, but at least I have a brake and clutch and can overcome that.

I did exactly that in a "skid-pan" car .. pressing the accelerator VERY gently as I pulled away ,
soon realised it was actually the BRAKE pedal,:bang: when I couldn't build speed once rolling - 3 series Beemer REALLY offset pedals:yuck:
