What do you mean it's not an on/off switch?

It's scary to think that some (well... a lot of) people are given a license to drive. It's scarier to think that some of these people drive for a living. It's even scarier still to think that some of these people drive the public around for a living. Many times I've been on a bus with horrid drivers at the wheel. The latest didn't seem to understand that the gas and brake pedals are not, in fact, on/off deals. Starts were abrupt and sudden, pressing the lucky sitting passengers into their seats, while sending the unlucky standers staggering to find grip and balance. Stops were more abrupt and sudden, adding jerky to the mix. Between starting and stopping gave no reprieve, as constant velocity seemed an unheard of concept. Gun it, let off, gun it, brake, gun it... BRAKE! That's even with vehicles immediately in front. Oi...

That is all.
