Oh oh... Another Ferret quandary! What about "middle-hand drive", as
the
driver's position is smack in the center of the vehicle? Should I be
labeling
my Ferret as such? I've had to "retrain" myself to not keep to the left
of
the lane, because if I do that, the left tires are running on or over
the
center line! Also, as a motorcycle rider I've learned over the years to
never, never ride on the center "slick strip" of the roadway. Now I've
had
to change my habits again! Ah, the fun of MIL-VEH ownership!!!!

right ;-)
