More MT Fun

A lot of people like to drive on autopilot. Which is fine until someone does the unexpected.

For example... I'm sitting at a light. Nice bright brakelights. Everything is good.

Guy in a small car pulls up behind me. He's not paying much attention, but that's fine, we're not going anywhere for a bit.

I release the brakes (on a level surface, if I'm not going anywhere it helps avoid warping the rotors - not an insignificant concern in 120 degree weather). The guy behind me, on autopilot, lets go of his brakes. He's driving an automatic. And he jerks to a halt behind me. Just barely behind me.

*sigh*

Look first, then act.
