Post-work

You can work in groups or individually. Please fork the repo and submit a Pull Request after you have finished.

1. Create InvalidGear exception. It should be thrown when someone tries eg. change a gear from 5 to R. It should inherit from one of STL exceptions
2. Fix interfaces to be easy to use correctly and hard to use incorrectly (like accelerate(-999))
3. (Optional) Write proper unit tests to this code.
4. Read one of below articles. It will be useful for the next lesson.
