Hi All,

I understand about the British legacy of right side driver controls,
at least as far as the steering wheel goes. For a standard
transmission, how are the gear patterns set? How are the foot pedals
set?

Thanx Marc,

I was worried about coordination melt-down.

"Correct side" hmmm? :-)

Richard

They still haven't figured out that the opposite of driving on right
side is driving on the wrong side. :-)
