And manual transmission cars are what, 10% of the US fleet?

Still, if your engine quits at 60 mph you're likely to be going in a
straight line anyway, so it's not going to be such a big deal. And as I
said, the brakes will still get servo assistance for at least one or two
applications. Both still work - I've had engines quit on automatic
transmission cars and still been able to steer and brake (and this was
in a large Dodge pickup, not some little econobox). I'm hardly the
world's strongest guy.

The pull-over factor was still there.

It wasn't for the pilot of the Swift.
