I don't care what _YOU_ do at all.  I care that 1,500+ people might read
and some might use a method that aligns a car in such a way as to make
it extremely dangerous at the limit.

You can go backwards into as much street furniture as you want.  Other
people might follow your dumb instructions and then go out driving with
their families - even if they drive nowhere near the limit, they might
one day want to take avoiding action and be let down by their car.

All I'm doing is following the manual and staying within the tolerances
it defines.  The fact that you can't do that with string and sealing wax
is peripheral.
