And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The number of times I blind other drivers because my left hand is nowhere near the light stalk (left hand drive in my country, so the steering wheel is on the right hand side ... yeah, and believe me, the idea of driving on the opposite side is weird to me too) My left foot twitches well before my hand moves.
Some of us (replying or not) are showing our age by even knowing that it is a high beam switch. 1st one I remember was in an old farm pickup. Very satisfying tactile device plus audible click. Plus, the graphic has the pedals close enough to Heel and Toe in a corner.
I was taught by my Dad first using a stick shift. I did the same with my two boys. Both still have stick shift cars. The oldest has a family but his oldest is not quite reaching the age to drive, but when she does he will teach her via stick shift.
And proud of it.
ReplyDeleteI particularly appreciate the inclusion of the high beam switch - still miss those! So much better than fumbling with the "multifunction switch"
