#11: Jerky Boy

Watch the video below. Note how many times you hear the squeaky sound of the pedal. Gives new meaning to pedal to the metal, doesn’t it?

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “So what? The dude rode his brakes a little. Maybe he was sitting in traffic and didn’t want to speed up, slow down, speed up…”

No.

The sound you hear over and over again in the video? That’s the sound of the GAS pedal, my friends. Do you know what happens when you depress the gas all the way, take your foot of the gas entirely and then depress the gas pedal again sequentially like that?  The result is a ride akin to sitting on of those mechanical rocket or pony rides for children that are usually outside of supermarkets . Super jerky.

I know homeboy is probably used to driving a rickshaw or something, but seriously, the gas pedal has a lot of room in between "all the way to the floor" and "completely off the gas." If you want a smooth ride, all you have to do is ease your foot halfway up and idle somewhere in the middle. Of course, this is all assuming you can reach the pedal in the first place, which I believe was part of his problem. Because he couldn't entirely reach the gas, he had to essentially "jab" at the gas pedal, resulting in a ride that feels like you're getting rammed in the ass by a nine-ton behemoth. 

It just made me wonder what else he likes to poke at in a less than appealing way...
