Why do people say left hand down instead of left? We all know which
way to turn the wheel to make the car go left, and it's the same in
reverse.


Not if you're attempting a reverse turn with a trailer or caravan. I
have a story about that but I won't bore you with the details other
than to say that some of the onlookers were stunned into quiet
applause. HGV drivers? Pah! Kid's stuff!


I don't understand the problem reversing a trailer or caravan. Everyone
could turn the trailer themselves if they had a hold of the towball
end. So if you're reversing the car, you look over your shoulder, and
move it the same way!
