Brakes!?

Dear America,

When you're driving down the road, and there happens to be a bit of traffic is it really necessary to use your brakes every chance you get? Its almost like you people enjoy pushing the other pedal as much as the first [gas that is].

I don't get it. You can acheive the same affect of slowing down just by NOT pressing the gas pedal. Try it out, it works wonders. Also, there is also this novel concept where we don't actually have to drive 3 inches from one another, and therefore, we can use the concept of "no gas" as a breaking mechanism. Yet at least here in Baltimore, leaving more than 3 inches between you and the car in front of you seems to be a sign of weakness, and an open invitation for you to be cut off. I'll save that letter for another day. In the meantime, lets all learn a lesson here. No gas pedal can very often equal proper use of the brake pedal.

Signed,

Drew
