... and how bloody dangerous is that!?

Has anyone here needed to put the foot down to get out of a dangerous
situation (avoid some other silly motorist or other hazard)?

Now you are going to be left stranded?

Admittedly my little Primrose beast doesn't take off like a rocket but
sometimes you just gotta get a move on and I don't think I am going to
appreciate Big Brother throttling my fuel line when I need to avoid that
Mac truck that emerged from the side street without seeing me.

Braking isn't always the best option.

stopped admitting to his LE ownership in his sig :-)
