Pull back on the throttle
Hi,
If my dad is constantly overstretching himself (he spends too much time at work and he engages in strenuous activities), could I tell him that he should 'pull back on the throttle'? I know that it means 'to reduce the speed,' but I was wondering that it could perhaps be used in this way as well.
Thank you.

Yes, you can tell someone to pull back on the throttle if you think they should slow down.
