Notice how when the driver started up again,
he rammed the car, & kept on going. Were
it an accident, he'd likely have stopped.

Foot slipped off clutch, driver thrown back into seat, increasing reaction time time to reach the brake pedal

Oh right, i just thought of something, being an Ameristanien do you know what a clutch is?

Automatics are for shiftless people.
I've also driven a big cabover highway tractor.

I did that back when I designed a new air brake
control system for them at GM Truck & Bus.

It's a kind of purse, of course.

Did the system get adopted and are you on a royalty for each unit fitted?

Alas, they never used the system.
I was paid well enuf, but as a contractor, they
owned all the rights to getting zero income.

BTW, it was a beautiful system. No one
I worked for knew why it went nowhere.
I'd generally worked on new & experimental
things, so it was normal to see no production.

I'm considering putting together a wood lathe
(from parts I have) to allow making some rollers
for engine moving. Wood has advantages over
pipe rollers & machine skates when moving on
dirty uneven surfaces. They'd be about 70" long
& 5" diameter.

Lathes made of wood are not a good idea ;-)
