I find myself agreeing with Chuck, and it wasn't one of my resolutions... As discussed earlier, if the car was in harms way nosed in somewhere, the safety crew could quickly respond because they saw a mark on the car that told them the car has no reverse. CR
Chuck Voboril <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: A driver can put a label on his car even if there is no rule that says: "no reverse" just to make life easier for himself and everyone else. But, like the symbol to help people find the master kill switch, I just don't see any downside if it were a rule. A rule might help with the uniformity and make the label or symbol easier to find in an emergency.
