Very sobering
I open the car up and give it some. I'd be lying if I tried to claim otherwise. I try and do it in the safest way possible and will always back off and leave it if I don't feel comfortable with anything at all. Saddly things can and do go wrong, be it driver error or a mechanical fault. That's something everyone of us has to take on board when we tickle the accelerator pedal.
I saddly know quite a few people that have died in road accidents and it does make you think.
