And if I'm reversing looking over my shoulder, one hand isn't on the
wheel so the phrase makes no sense!

That was line in "The Navy Lark", a radio comedy programme from the 1950s.

Which was never meant to be taken seriously!

Because it avoids any uncertainty between driver's left and guider's
left, if they're facing different ways, or one is looking at the other
in a mirror.

You senile asshole STILL don't know what's going on? Just HOW senile are
you? LOL

troll-feeding, senile idiot, blabbered again:

There are these things called mirrors that don't require you to look
over your shoulder.

You STILL haven't learned your lesson, you retarded bigmouthed troll-feeding
Yankie swine? See you over in ahr again, you perverted old gossip! Are you
ready? BG

I take it you are too debile and senile to resist that idiotic troll's
idiotic baits, The Natural Idiot! G

That was another bait set out by the dumbest and best-known troll around,

Even better: the little TV camera built into the rear of some modern
cars which outputs a display to the car's computer screen.


My new car has one of those. It comes in very handy to make sure I don't
run over the damn cat. For an animal supposed to be cleanly he loves to
roll in the driveway dirt.
