Jackie Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 11578 Loc: Louisville, Kentucky	Every time I drive, I face the front of the car. I sit on the left (here) and drive on the right.

of troy Carpal Tunnel Registered: 10/17/00 Posts: 5400 Loc: rego park	Most of the time, yes--I use the mirrors oh yes, me too.. i find if turn my head round, i 'stear' wrong.. but if i watch the mirrors, i am fine. --an aspect of my dyslexia-- nothing really to do with reading, but with how my mind processes information. i went to a party, a few years ago now, many guests had arrived before me, the long 200(meters or so) driveway, narrow to begin with, was lined with cars (both sides!) i backed my car in... all the way to the end, to make it easier to unload, (and to pull out, in case i had to move it in an emergency) the though occurred to me, i might be less able to contol my car as the party progressed, and pulling out, would be easier if influenced... i used my exterior mirrors to do all the backing up (my car was stuffed to the rooftop with 'things' i brought to the party.) needless to say, i didn't leave a series of dents and dings in the other cars! _________________________ my other obsession
