The answer is yes. I am not a safety engineer but one of the first things you should think of in an emergency (if the car is out of control) is to shift it into neutral. This will allow you to maintain control of the car and it will let the engine run at a very high speed but you will gain more control over the vehicle. The next option is to turn the key to the off position if there is no other way to stop it. Try to be sure you are near the side of the road when you do this because the car will slow down rather quickly and you may loose the ability of Power Steering which means it will take more of your physical arm power to steer it off to the side of the road.
