mircea_popescu: i would guess a full 50% of people behind a wheel are SO BAD that modern progresstech like "if car is shocked, break" is actually very useful. even if this means you could throw pebbles at a car and keep it locked forever.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski your case isn't even the most egregious. i ever tell you about the idiot that drove straight into us, from a full stop, backwards ? his car, much wiser than him, braked and so there was no damage.
