Just FYI, it has presented no serious challenges in any of my vehicles. The brake reserve is manageable, in fact I haven't bothered to reconnect the vacuum on the metro and I have much better feel on the brakes now, and most of my fleet are manual steering. The ones that aren't are not that challenging to steer with any amount of forward motion. Your mileage may vary, try it in a safe spot for yourself before making excuses. It is not an absolute to say it is unsafe, it depends on the car and on the driver, and should be weighed against all other unsafe activities on the road before deciding this needs serious attention.

Matt, FYI, I can't read your posts, in case you weren't aware.
