The switch that makes sure you have your foot on the clutch before

In 1972 I bought a Dodge with that switch. I had driven manual shift
cars over the years and had had that one for several days. I got some
gas and could not get it started. It was as if the battery was dead.
The service station man told me to push in the clutch. I did and it
started.

I had a habit of puting a 4 speed in neutral and starting the car. I
must have been doing that and pushing in the clutch for the 2 or 3 days
I had had that car. That was the first manual car I had been in that
has that clutch switch.


Can't remember how long ago. I stopped for gasoline,
and met a very nice man who spoke some language other
than American. I'd guess Dutch, but not sure. He
summoned me, as he could not get his car out of Park.
I noticed it was a Ford. Did my best by gestures to
suggest he push the brake, which did the job. Now he's
able to shift into drive, and go about his travel.
