So he is, and probably didn't ought have a licence to drive but it still doesn't make a throttle stuck wide open nearly as trivial as that particular Toyota apologist might like us to believe.

You'd be preoccupied with not hitting anything :-) with no time to talk on the phone. Be an interesting experiment for driver reaction, a controlled test with a passenger or remote control device to create a WOT condition at any moment. Al -- I don't take sides. It's more fun to insult everyone. http://kwakakid.cjb.net/insult.html |
