[edit] Change use of American terms

Many paragraphs use the term "gas pedal", which should be replaced with more de-localised terms such as "accelerator" or "throttle". I assume there may be more terms throughout the module. What is the stance on local (American) phrasing in WikiBooks?

[edit] Pulling away

-Excuse the fact i don't have a WikiBooks account, my Wikipedia account name is Benbread if you're interested- Anyway, looking at the pulling away part, my driving instructor told me it was always best practice to keep the handbrake engaged, bring the clutch to biting point then disengage the handbrake and pull away, particually useful if starting on a hill! Can someone possibly make this a little clearer in the article? I wont do it as i find it best to not go destroying other people's work before getting a feel for the article first. on the other hand, do others think that this pulling away method is not the most appropriate?
