  We'll ban rope after a lunatic with a 32-rope magazine runs amok and
hangs 35 people at Port Arfur. Get real.

  ROFL! And then you try to swerve, and it won't do that either! 

  Another good trick is to turn off the engine with power steering and
power brakes. Brenton warned me about that one, and it is terrifying!
You can hardly turn the steering, and then you leap on the brakes and
they don't work either! Worth practising, in case it ever happens...

 JT> How does one not notice the wheel lock is on? Don't you press
 JT> your brakes at some point while starting or before moving off
 JT> in your car? At the very least, turn your steering wheel?

  The hoon across the street fires up the engine, floors it, and spins
the wheels all in the same second. He'd be halfway to the corner
before he discovered he had no brakes and no steering... and already
doing 80K.
