emergency brake
my sister showed up at our house in the yellow bmw sans bumper. apparently, my 13 year old niece drove into a sign. she was in the car when it started moving. she avoided the embankment and the oncoming traffic. she thought the clutch was the brake. so today the boys and i had a little demo about what to do if ever they are in such a situation. turn off the car and pull the emergency brake. of course we /had/ to practice this maneuver by rolling the car down the driveway.
