Il find Free Wheeling very
convenient in traffic, and
very good in making long

is that Free Wheeling is much
superior to the old way of
handling a car. More ease
and comfort in travelling and
driving. We have no Free
Wheeling cars doing actual
police service but from my
own observation, I know Free
Wheeling would be of great
benefit in police work.
