As a kid I had a bike that effectively did much the same thing to both legs.

We-e-e-lllll . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . if you drive a stick shift and use the left leg to push the clutch in . . . but WAIT!

Do youse guys have the pedals all messed up or is the steering wheel the only thing on the wrong side of the car?

Ya might have to drive like Mork, and sit the other way around with your face into the seatback . . . or is the front-the-rear there too?

Youse guys crack me up! :groan:

695543 2008-08-07 20:20:00 Joe the pedals are all in the same position (albeit on the proper side of the car) as LHD cars... Luckily, through some design common-sense, the steering wheel AND all the driver controls are also on the same side as the pedals. johcar (6283)
695544 2008-08-08 02:12:00 It makes a fair amount of sense though, when you think about it.

You may take 2-3 min longer to get to your destination, but at 10%+ cheaper or so, I think I'd subscribe to that.

All they need is an off switch
