You said, "This is something that everyone, especially inattentive drivers, should be forced to control, as it will demand more attention from them." I'm just suggesting other things that would demand more attention. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

I had a situation today where I had to explain (to a developer) that saying "Bad format at line XXXX" wasn't helpful, as the format could have been wrong in at least a half-dozen different ways, and line XXXX could be anywhere in a three-million-line-long text file, and the thing causing indigestion at line XXXX could have been at line YYYY, also anywhere in a three-million-line-long text file. And I didn't say that, anyway. I said that it demands more attention on the driving situation at hand, because it forces you to pay more attention to the speed and situation of your vehicle. Which is NOT what you just said that I said. So neener. I'm so going to tip you in that damn pool next time, permissions-boi.

No, it demands you pay attention to the speed and situation of your engine and transmission. This is related to the speed and situation of your vehicle. The Toyota minivan I rented last weekend ran so quietly I could not have shifted without staring at the tach. I never knew what gear it was in, and frankly didn't care. There was one point when I wanted to merge and knew I'd need to drop a gear. I just floored it a half-second before I knew I'd want to speed up. So by having a grasp of my speed and situation, I was able to react appropriately. Without a stick-shift. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats]. [link\|http://DocHope.com\|http://DocHope.com]
