I prefer to keep in first gear, clutch in, left foot down, right
foot on peg. That makes it very easy to bump up a few feet and stop
fast. Most drivers around here are hip enough to approach my six very
slowly, and stop well back. Reassembler

What crawled up your ass?
Is it his fault she drove away from the scene and escaped also?
Hate to see you in a judge's robe.

Not at 1AM you don't. Your points are still well advised though.
I wonder, being midnight and no traffic if she had high beams on if he could
tell how far and how fast she was. Kind of negates everything then eh?
Would take at least 2 seconds for you to get moving. Is that fast enough?
Jump off most definitely.
