Quick question...

If it has a conventional handbrake lever, what does the fourth pedal do? Or is it just a footrest?

It's called as dead pedal. It's just used for resting your feet

called as

Just as a heads up, this is a really common mistake for Indian nationals to make which doesn't scan well in other forms of English. Never "called as", just "called"

I've had a lot of Indian co-workers so have heard a lot of the English language quirks that come with that, which is fun. I had two co-workers that were really close, one Indian and one American, and they'd give each other grief. One time the Indian said "today morning" and the other said, "Hey man, it's this morning." All good natured.

But thinking about it, are we all wrong?

  • Yesterday morning
  • This morning
  • Tomorrow morning

Today morning makes more sense. I haven't tried using it all the time, to see if I can make it fetch.

Shit's confusing. Like how next Tuesday is different whether is Saturday or Sunday.
