[b]Car agent dies when test drive goes
wrong
By Ben Nadarajan
SHE was out on a test drive with her last customer of the day
before rushing off to a friends wedding.

The Mazda MX-5, also known as the Miata, costs about $110,000. It
can hit a top speed of 191kmh.It uses rear-wheel-drive system, and
motoring experts said such cars can easily swerve out of control if
the driver suddenly takes his foot off the
accelerator.

For non-experts like me, we learn something new everyday, don't
we?
Maybe I should call my mother now and tell her that if she needs to
emergency brake on her RWD car, she needs to *gently and slowly*
lift her foot from the accelerator pedal, then step on the brakes.
Otherwise, she may lose control of her "rear-wheel-drive system"
car.
