This technique, or more properly an undocumented capability, was discussed in Panorama, the PCA monthly magazine, a year or two ago.
I have tried it and it does work.
I would also say it is of marginal utility, except maybe on the race track.


Wow, that's a good tip. I am gonna be trying that tomorrow on the way to work. Thanks for the info!
