    Yes, I agree with you, but I'm saying he's guilty of the same thing (utter refusal to give other posters any deference for knowledge) when it comes to PR and other issues.

    You do realize there are many people here who also have experience driving cars and have had "driving school" training and happen to have different experiences and opinions than you?

    You can overpower breaks quite easily. It's nonsense to say otherwise.

    Re: Lexus ES350 accident in Satee, Ca. The Lexus was traveling North on Rt 125. This is a multi lane freeway that runs almost straight for maybe 5 miles. It has minimal downhill grade, multiple exits, and lots of orange barrels/construction along it. I have included a link for Google street view leading up to the T-Intersection with Mission Gorge Rd where the accident took place. Also a link to Google maps over view of Rt 125 for most of the distance in question. At the vehicle speeds stated this event took place over a distance of 3 to 4 miles at least. Again we are talking Rt 125 not Mission Gorge Rd as many here and elsewhere have mistakingly thought.
