Smoothness Counts

When you have an opportunity to ride with a very good driver, you’re bound to be impressed with how smoothly they drive, especially in the transitions from acceleration to braking, and into and out of turns. We didn’t say these transitions were done slowly; we said they should be done smoothly. In advanced driving classes, the instructor will be telling you to “roll on to” the brake and “roll on to” the accelerator. And the rest of the story here.

I love the reference to pretending there's a cup of water on the dash board... Us Anime geeks out there will immediately think of InitialD.
