Call the go-faster pedal the "Newton's Second Law pedal", and the
oops-here-comes-an-obstacle pedal the "Newton's Third Law pedal",
because if you hit that thing, you'll see the third law in action. We
then need a demonstration of Newton's First Law, which I think is the
ignition key. We should turn it into a pedal to be consistent.

For the humour-blind: </jesting>
