>Back in the Jurassic age when I was sixteen, I took my driving test in Arizona
to beat the 17 year old requirement of N.J. ( I was there on vacation) I
remember the written test varied from N.J. on one theme. N.J. had no questions
on mountain driving. (I wonder why) The Arizona test asked in three different
ways ; was it correct to drive down a mountain with a disengaged engine? A yes
was an automatic failure. Sir Isaac can explain the reason. Don't do it.
