Did you educate her on the presence of this great invention called an EMERGENCY BRAKE? You know, that's cable-actuated in case of. . . you know. . . EMERGENCIES?!?!
I can't believe how stupid/uneducated people are today with respect to operating automotive machinery. This is precisely the kind of crap that SHOULD be tested for on driving tests. Not whether a person can fog a mirror or drive in a straight line for 30 seconds, but the same kinds of things pilots are tested for with respect to aircraft - systems, emergency procedures, etc.
It'll never happen though. Too many people make way too much $$$ off of licenses being handed out like candy.
