The sooner this _DAFT_ idea is dead and buried the better.

It's a royal, Mark I, PITA.  You sit in a queue of traffic bumbling
along at 32.125mph for mile after mile, and finally get a 200yd
straight in which to get one caravan and two articulated trucks.  In
the meantime, the transmission has decided that you're a geriatric
old fart who never wants to exceed 33mph or accelerate AT ANY TIME
and flat ignores the kick-down request for ten seconds.

By which time ...

Someone came up with a mod that consisted of a push-to-break switch
mounted on the transmission tunnel - just tap it to cycle power on the
transmission computer and make it forget all it ever thought it knew
about you.
