I have a technologically advanced truck, and it features a system called OnGuard, which has a forward looking radar in the bumper. It is a marvel with a mission:help keep drivers and motorists safer.
This little wonder is tied into the systems of the truck. While on cruise control, the unit adjusts speed automatically to maintain a safe following distance. There is a drawback. If the yo-yo you're following cannot maintain a speed, you'll feel like you're driving a Slinky. If the vehicle in front of you suddenly slows down, an audible alert begins beeping. You don't respond, it begins braking, and if the vehicle ahead stops, it screeches and slams on the brakes hard.
But the most irritating is following a yo-yo'ing yo-yo.
