Spamming L2 or ZL (brake pedal) will give vehicles a speed boost.

Summary

Spamming L2 or ZL (which is normally the brake) will give the vehicle a big speed boost. This is easiest to do with controller triggers that act like buttons (for example the triggers on nintendo switch, pro controllers, and some keyboards).

Devices

Steps to Reproduce

Easiest way to reproduce is on Nindendo Switch but the same issue is possible (but also harder to do) on all platforms. Spawn a sports car device and spam ZL while driving and if you do it fast enough you may be able to get the car speed up to 200 (which is nowhere near possible with default speed)

Expected Result

Spamming L2 or ZL should be stopping the car (since it is the button for the brakes).

Observed Result

For some reason when spammed, the car can reach unintended speeds giving players who abuse it advantages in racing maps.

Platform(s)

All (mainly nintendo switch or with a controller that uses buttons instead of triggers)
