I do hope you're wearing both a helmet and harness!

Weird stuff on the lasers. From what little I know of the FAA, they seem to be willing to change the rules quickly and at the drop of a hat.
They won’t on this one as another agency holds the keys to the castle. They got burned on the 800-Max by Boeing and their most recent “we’re here to help” attitude is quickly going out the window as accusations of not performing adequate oversight fly more often than the Max.

Question for you guys with "green new deal" cars. Do they have accelerator pedals or just ON/OFF switches.

Pro tip - set the parking brake to halfway. Yes, it slows the car down, but really, it's so slow you won't notice the difference. And the fuel consumption should rise rapidly which affects your aggressive score.

I was being facetious on the FAA. As an EAA member I am familiar, somewhat, with the long, tedious approval process for airplanes. Or that was the impression I got.

This sounds like right control, up, right control, down, down, select, bumper A, enter game hack. I’ll have to check but I bet this car has a electronic parking brake.

Why is it you outlaw types always want to kink the system? Fake aggressive ratings are like a 3 piece patch on a horse blanket.
