I want to crack a joke here about conning towers, but am unable to come up with anything witty.

"try pushing the pedal, push down harder" (not) holding the steering wheel I glared at him. ( I surmised that remaining stationary I found myself in the best suited position for avoiding collision, and furthermore made evasive action unecessary). This method ensures the lowest aggregate speed in the event of a head- on impact.

I sat until the hooter sounded and left said dogem car.
