If anyone thinks this is the correct way to teach someone to drive a car, I would like to personally slap them with the white driving glove. This is, how can I put this in a nice way?...

WRONG!

If you are ever behind an old lady who is driving a Lincoln Continental going 35 MPH with the brake lights on, you know that she thinks this is an acceptable way to drive a car.

"What's so bad about it, dannye? Why can't I drive like I want to?"

Because you are ruining your brakes. I don't know if brakes have souls, but I know they have saved many, many lives, and it hurts their feelings ever so badly to be treated in this horrific manner. Have a heart, OK?
