> teach people to drive only one kind of car
We do just that. The ordinary kind of car that Hertz and Avis rent at
every US airport.
Left-hand steering wheel.
Automatic transmission.
Gas and brake pedals in customary position.
Direction signal stick on left of steering column.
Rear view mirror in center of front window.
That's all you need - twist the key to start and go.
Standard high-school driver education stuff.
All of these are different from my car in England.
American kids are lost if they try to drive a manual shift British car
on the right hand side of the road and navigate round-abouts. And use
hand signals for turning -- with their right arm.
