observer Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Seems some can have their foot brake operated by the front passenger . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Do you have any evidence of this Obs, or are you just "flying a kite"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inky pete Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 It's to do with the way they're adapted to put the steering wheel on the correct side. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13566999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Oooh dear I'm so glad you posted that Inky as I pondered for ages thinking Obs was an idiot. "Isn't that how all cars work.... How else would you press your brake if you weren't in the front...blummin heck Obs another half story that we have to decipher ???? ' Ahhhhh now I've come back on I realise the word 'PASSENGER' was a big hint... I get it now... maybe I shouldn't drive I take all my thoughts back Obs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 My wife always brakes when I am driving. Doesn't matter what make of car either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I do that when I am a passenger in my other halfs car too. Maybe it's not such a bad idea to have a brake pedal on the passengers side after all (and the drivers side I may add). In my dad's case though an accelerater pedal on both sides may be a useful addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 You can always try my car victor. It is French but has been adapted properly. 0-60 mph eventually with a tail wind and a long enough downhill run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Your car sounds rather 'impressive' Evils Victor maybe you should use your bus pass or reconsider selling your unused boat..... max 4mph on the Bridgewater canal I believe Word on the street says that the 20's Plenty lot are now in serious talks with WBC and all other councils as a matter of urgency. The latest advisory plan will be a very costly excercise (far costlier that the 20mph one) as it will cover a total area and new signs on every single road.

Dizzy Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Is it a 'guess the oldie' quiz. Errm maybe Victor Meldrew in his younger smilie years It looks looks like two faces cloned into one one as the bridge of the nose is odd, like it has been flattened at some point. So is that a local sign or one which is being used nationally to alert the public to the dangers of old, balding, grey haired men on the roads Baz. Victor.. you are pretty safe on two counts if Baz's sign get implemented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
