No matter what, the vehicle is driving along some arc instantaneously, and it's defined by three things, not five (it would be overdefined).

this is incredibly intuitive; move that way that fast, and spin this way this fast. I don't understand how this isn't "unicorn drive".
Perhaps I'm just silly, but I think this debate could use some citations. I'm now thoroughly confused on the subject.
