So I just wrote a scene in which one of my characters drives his car up onto the pavement there at the end of Adderley street and some way up Government Avenue (for those of you not from Cape Town, this is the pedestrian walkway that runs through the Gardens in central Cape Town). Then I happened to walk near there and noticed a small problem:

That’s a good one. All will be shaken by the sudden stop.

That’s exactly the idea! 🙂
