Save gas, go easy on your brakes.



The big silver Ford Explorer zoomed past me and screamed to a halt at the red light ahead of us. I kept my foot on the clutch and quietly coasted closer...closer...

YES! the light flashed green and, without breaking momentum, I was off and through, before the other driver even got her car going again.

If I sound a little smug, it's for good reason. Stepping on the brakes as little as possible allows you to enjoy these benefits:
  • Less wear and tear on your brakes
  • Significant gas savings so you pay less at the pump
  • The occasional opportunity to blow other drivers away without even revving your engine, which allows you:
  • A licensed sense of superiority.
Can't beat that!
