You can say the same thing about driving a car too.
Plenty manage to **** that up at times too.
Specially with something like that you don't do very often at all.
What exactly is difficult about continuing what you were doing with a
little less speed?
Lot less speed in fact.
No.
Yep.
Lift your foot off the gas and you will slow down very gradually.
Wrong, as always.
You need to service your car.
The difficulty is the stupid hoon children like
you that don't see any brake lights coming on.
People do it all the time, if they don't need to slow down enough to
brake. It doesn't cause problems.
But does if some stupid hoon child like you is behind them.
I don't need brake lights to tell me something is slowing down.
One woman did it to me once, but she paid for it. There was no damage to my car at all, and she lost a radiator a bumper and two headlights.
A bloke did too, but that was in snow. He bounced off the tyre on the back of my 4x4 and caused no damage to either vehicle. Makes you think they should add some rubber to all cars.
Fortunately that isn't that common because
most of them have killed themselves by now.
Making your original point about slowing down due to engine cutout moot.
Plenty have got rammed up the arse by some hoon kid like you
in those circumstances too, essentially because the brake lights
don't come on and the stupid hoon kid just rams you up the arse.
Absolute bull****.
Fact.
Otherwise that would be happening all the time whenever someone took
their foot off the gas.
Wrong, as always. They slow down MUCH
more quickly when the engine is killed.
Nope.
Yep.
If I turn off my ignition I don't slow down very quickly. It's precisely
the same as letting my foot off the gas.
Few are actually stupid enough to do that
Try it. It doesn't do what you think it does.
when driving around at the speed limit on normal roads.
Who drives as slow as the speed limit?
And there is absolutely no point whatever in killing the engine instead
of just flashing a warming on the dash anyway in that situation.
Killing the engine stops it causing dfamage immediately.
Wrong, as always.
You're very fond of stating things without backing them up.
