Little Known Fact, pt 2

Dear LA Drivers,

Another little known fact about gas pedals: taking your foot off the gas pedal tells your car that you do not want it to go forward anymore. Your car will still go forward because of momentum, but it will not stay at the same speed as it did while you had your foot on the pedal. This is especially true when your car is headed uphill.

There really is no need to slam on your brakes. In fact, slamming your foot on the brakes when you see the red brake lights yards ahead of you is dangerous to everyone behind you and causes traffic. And the majority of the time, you don't actually need your car to stop suddenly, you need to slow down slightly.

And frankly, it's really annoying watching you tap on your brakes 50 times in one mile. Don't forget, your neurosis shows through the red lights on the back of your car.

If you need to slow down, try taking your foot off the gas pedal. It works wonders!

Thanks!
