The braking arrangements, if any, appear to be minimal. All in all, not something one's life insurance company would approve of.

Of course, he may never drive around anywhere but that field where pictured; not onto public roads under the jurisdiction of traffic laws. Yet, if John Dacy never respected the law is he wearing body armor under his suit? John must think he’s faster than a speeding bullet since he “has no fear of traffic officers”.

Does that mean no worries about being considered a nuisance because it’s so slow, or does it go so fast they can’t catch him?
