There lay the difference between those who can drive, and the new generation of drivers who are taught incorrectly or have a bad attitude in general.
I learned very early as I was always fascinated by cars, always watching my dad using pedals steering mirrors and all the switchgear. As a boy it seemed a very intensive set of activities, but very often whatched my dear Dad really enjoying driving!
The skills base now seems totally opposite to me, Lack of signalling drives me nuts! If the indicator switch is too hard to operate, can we assume looking in a mirror wont happen due to more muscles and eyes are needed for such operation by comparison? My driving is believed to be ok according to my passengers which include PhilT-4 amongst others, we don't do loads of miles together, but we meet and I drive us to a number of destinations with no white knuckles on Phil's hands, I guess I must be of an old school education, but with humour added to make things fun!
