As Frank so eloquently put it, it normally happens while driving like an ass.

I never really understood this or why an article would be written about it, on every autotragic I have driven over the last 16 years I have always selected the gear I wanted when I assumed I would be driving like an asse. In fact I've saved several transmissions this way because I noticed they were not shifting correctly. Dodge is notorious for the auto transmission not down shifting on its own, mine was staying in 4th at stop signs.

Perhaps people need to learn that they can control the car they drive.
