Canal Digger Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 On 17/06/2021 at 15:56, PhilJ W said: My current car and its predecessor (which was replaced in the catalogue by my current car) have the indicators and windscreen wiper controls on opposite sides to each other. It took a bit of getting used to and I still sometimes mix them up. A while ago I spent a day driving a dump truck, the hand-brake for which was on the RH side (and released by a pulling a small wire clip with little finger, rather than a thumb button). No problem applying said brake every time I got to the digger to receive a load, no problem going home in my 4x4 with a US style Umbrella Stick hand-brake, operated by L hand, going out that evening in the car (Mondeo) applied the hand-brake at the traffic lights automaticlly, lights go green, had to put on the interior light to find the hand brake to release it! I've only been driving British cars for 40+ years. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry I crashed whilst going over the speed limit officer, the person I was talking didn't realise I was doing 120 up to a roundabout. Yeah, right! Mike. Hi Mike, When driving my [white] van I talk to myself on the basis that I'm the only one I can get any sense out of, even when there is actually someone else in the van. I have no choice but to talk to myself when I'm on my motorbike, although only by way of using the voices in my head, because steaming up the visor would be, for no other reason, total lunacy !
