I recall a weekend in the snow at a cabin with the sports car club I belonged
to in the sixties.  At the end of the weekend we all drove down the mountain
in little flurries of blowing snow.  I passed a car on the two lane road in my
TR3A and club members just behind me followed.  The only problem with that was
there was another car approaching in the opposite direction.  My pass had left
me plenty of time.  The people who followed me would not have made the pass in
time to avoid a head on collision if they had not had an overdrive switch that
gave them an instant up shift as they came even with the slower car.

Best regards,
Tom
