What are your opinions?

Or any car for that matter?

Are you happy that someone who can't do something so simple is allowed to be in control of something that can cause that much harm?

Technical Question - Does this particular car in question have no gear knob?

Are there not only 3 possible ways of getting a manual gearbox into reverse?

4 I suppose, one in each corner.

push down
pull up
do nothing

12 different ways, should be fairly obvious though tbh, it's on the fucking gearknob

Normally it's top right or bottom left though, don't think I've seen a car with it any other way

I think that you have to be told once about how to get a Corsa in reverse. Once you have been told then you know how to do it on quite a lot of cars and you should never say anything about it again.

The only reason why I say this is because when I learned to drive I didn't know how to get my sisters Clio into reverse
