 Smooth progress through the gears. - Cliff Pope
I agree. I drove as a passenger once with a visiting American in a hired car. He obviously hadn't a clue what the gears were for, and would arbitrarily change up or down until he found one that enabled him to make some sort of progress. Combined with his total faith in the ability of the brakes to stop in time as we hurtled down a steep winding hill, it was the most terrifying ride I have ever experienced.
