What's this?

Having driven quite a bit in the UK, the thing that gets me is the wipers..

.....and turn signal stalks being reversed. You're making a turn and all the sudden the wipers are going and I'm like "not again!"

Yes, same pedals, only the wheel and shifter are reversed ** -- MAHokie69 01/19/2022 08:50AM

The floor setup is the same as in a left hand drive car. The shifter -- UTPr0sim 01/19/2022 08:06AM

My only screw up in the UK was to circle the wrong way in a cul-de-sac -- `lag 01/19/2022 09:57AM

Better cul de sac than a roundabout onto the A1 -- Happy Dog 01/19/2022 10:08AM

I thought roundabouts were great for that - we didn't have them here at the -- `lag 01/19/2022 10:15AM

If you get stuck in a roundabout: "Looks kids, it's Big Ben!" -- Happy Dog 01/19/2022 10:29AM

Dunno, but they shift on the left, which is really freaky. ** -- Coach McGuirk 01/18/2022 11:54PM

Still brake with left foot with heel toe technique - heel on clutch, toe on -- VTENGR 01/19/2022 09:11AM

Heel on clutch? -- EDGEMAN 01/19/2022 11:27AM
