You’re merging, gap looks tight, little man screams go—stupid foot mashes accelerator like it’s glued. Car surges, bubble 360 knowing collapses, you cut someone off, horn blares. That foot defaults to gas when it should wait, pushing into shrinking space instead of backing off. Purple Line vanishes under haste; eyes chase drama not gaps. Feet should love brakes—hover light, cover the pedal, gas only when the path truly opens. I’ve seen the pattern kill: rush-hour driver guns it, clips a fender, chain reaction spins three lanes. Long long nose swings wider in panic. Rock & roll skipped because speed felt urgent. One bad input and metal meets metal. Roads don’t forgive addiction to throttle. Decide for decades: retrain that foot to wait or let it lead you into wrecks. COOPER names the habit plain.
