I used to drive a Volvo, so have done the indicator switch before. I still occassionally do the wrong side for absolutely no reason. When I drove my Mum's VW for a week I got it right about 90% of the time.

yeah the mrs had a ford that was the oposite as well. Try driving 2 cars with different handbreak locations. The amount of times I start the manual without putting the clutch in (or go to press an imaginary clutch on the auto) is insane.

I’m currently driving 2 cars, 1 with auto handbrake and one with manual. I’ve tried to drive with the manual handbrake still on more than once

why isn’t the car moving?! What’s that odd noise?

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

lol yep done that one too. The auto takes its handbreak off as soon as you put it in drive or reverse. The manual very much does not.
