Never let it be said that the US general driving public is very car savvy.
I'm sure it mentions using brakes intelligently on big descents in the
owner's Manual of all cars,
but I think most people think it's against the law to read what's in the
owner's manual, or something like that !
- like that's something only a nerd would do.
Whatever........we'll just try to drive as far AWAY from all those other
vehicles as we can.
- something I think most driver's don't get.  They think it's better to be
very close to the other vehicles.
oh well !
