Crashes, hydroplaning, erratic driving?

this is Nevada. Have you *seen* our bad drivers? We have bad habits from all over the country. The last times looked, my uninsured motorist coverage was higher than my liability coverage!

Quite frankly, the average AI driver in my Judson' Mario cart game has more business on the road than our "real" drivers . . .

"remembering" to use the clutch or downshift???

I thought you said you were familiar and experienced driiving manual transmissions.

These aren't things to be "remembered"; they are just as instinctive as which way to turn the wheel, or "remembering" to use the brakes to slow down.

Now, with an automatic, downshifting for engine braking is generally a conscious decision, which must be remembered. In a am UPL, you simply do it.

No, that wouldn't have been successful--the context of the question was thT he was a defendant in a sexual harassment lawsuit; as with any other type of suit, the plaintiff is entitled to investigate similar incidents where the defendant might have behaved similarly. It's really no different than asking the drunk driver that hit your mother about the rest of his driving record.

Now, if he had answered, "Yes, she came on to me, and I happily took what she offered. We did it all over the oval office every night that week, and I'm glad e did," it would have shut down the line of questioning and pretty much ended everything there--it wouldn't have been the similar conduct Jones' attorneys had been looking for.

It is very difficult to prophesy, especially when it pertains to the future.
