LOL, sounds like a Monty Python segment.

It's amazing what humans can do to overcome such difficulties. My time
in
the RAF was spent on a medical rehabilitation unit, where service
personnel
who had been injured came after hospital treatment for therapy to enable
them to live as normal a life as possible.
On one occasion, I saw three of our patients returning from a visit to the
local pub: in a car. Two of them had their left arm and left leg in
plaster: one worked the steering-column mounted gear stick, the other
steered and worked the accelerator and brake. I think the third, who was
in
the back seat, would have been on his knees praying, except he had both
legs
in plaster!

Don't you believe it. My sprog does the same and, with _no

pointing out that the other one (indicators) helped me go around
corners.
Oh, he's got all that sussed too, I'm very forthcoming if he asks
about anything else. But the interlocks are such that the brake pedal
needs to be fully depressed and the ignition on for the stick to be
able to be taken out of park, it won't even release the key until the
transmission is set to park. It's a big car, he's still tiny and I
have long legs, so without an accomplice it would be a feat of
engineering for him to be able to actually get the car out of park
(assuming the car was idling). I think that I have quite a few years
to go before I need to be too concerned and in any case he has to be
big enough to wrestle my keys off me first :-)
She will be fully capable of the mechanics of driving in another two
years. I don't know whether to be proud or terrified.
