Like checking in mirrors, blind spots etc?

Nah, Marina is modern-as, - on the stalk.

All the other cars are floor mounted dip-switch models.

(Can't figure it out, why would you NOT have them on the floor - especially on an automatic)

That will be handy when your boss asks you to move the work van and its manual.

How are they phone movements? Your hand and phone don't move relative to your head.

I would be more carefull with those admissions, after all there is a police presence in this thread

Funny post. Fucking Go-Pro. I'd been ashamed to post it - all that chest puffing over a phone and the tradie won.

And the Go-Pro dude probably made the tradie late. There should be a fine for this in Christchurch!

Is this the same rider who put up images of a traffic altercation over someone not saying hello or similar?

Driving a car with one arm is a piece of cake.

Given all the electronic fiddlery in a new car the dashboard/radio can be very distracting.

How distracting is changing maps or anti-wheelie etc settings while riding a new motorcycle?

Fucking Go-pros

I spent four years riding in some of the most congested traffic you could imagine - all the time conversing with a dispatcher via the radio perched on my shoulder.

Mobile phones don't have to be a distraction. Unfortunately though, the majority on our roads seem to be so fucking stupid that that's exactly what they allow them to be.

Dumbing society down to the lowest common denominator since ages ago.
