One of the few things My father managed to instil in me when driving was to treat the gearstick as if made of glass. Not sure that empathy for the mechanicals is even mentioned in today’s driving lessons.
Double declutching on the way down eh….. How’s the left knee?your lucky its not a spelling contest--- having made the challenge to a duel your opponent gets to choose the weapons .
I started driving buses when I was 12 --a crash gearbox AEC and my father who was a gentle man in every sense would clip me on the ear with a newspaper if I fluffed the gearchange which he insisted I use only two fingers to push the gear lever and said he expects me to use just one finger shortly to push/pull the 5ft high steel pole and no power steering .
we will use a Volvo b12b Declan .
