I'm sure this list could be endless but my personal favorite, frequently seen (saw it again today, twice), are the chuckleheaded passengers with their (usually), bare feet crossed up on the dash. Gee, I wonder how long it will take their knees to go back through their teeth when the air bag deploys?
:S
That's nothing. Wait until you see the driver with the left on the dash or out the window, and yes I have, more than once. Usually it's a very young person. I can't understand it being comfortable at all, yet safe.
What's a chucklehead?
I saw the driver of an 18-wheeler doing this in traffic. I have no idea how he was using his clutch.
The clutch just get's it rolling. After that, shifts are clutchless. At least that was the case the last time I drove one -- 30 years ago ;)
Heck we have a few auto shifts now. Manual trans but the computer does all the shifting. Just a brake and accelerator(gas pedal) no clutch pedal. Much prefer to shift myself. Clutch to roll and "float" the gears after that.
