    Turns out that check engine light has been the EGR cooler plugging up. Recently fixed.

    Thanks for this thread, I'll make sure while I'm in school or with a trainer they teach me how to descend without a jake. Sucks that even if you are as safe as can be the driver behind you who didn't catch a low enough gear can ruin your day. How does the driver who gets rear-ended normally fair when such a situation happens?

    Maybe not if you get pushed over the edge and he doesn't follow you.
