“Acc on, traveling 75mph on ih-10 e; car two lengths in front of me, in rh lane, pulls off onto exit ramp, my car slams on the brakes and brings my car down to 45mph, if there had been someone behind me there would have been an accident. Same hi-way, car 1/2 car length in front on my left. We go around a sloping curve to the right, my car again slams on the brakes, and I had to jump on my gas peddle, as there was a car behind me this time. Complained to my service manager and was told this was normal! Nope, nothing normal about this situation! Accident waiting to happen. …”
