Hmm... turning towards the driver's side (ie right for us; left for
those who drive on the right) is straightforward, but the signal for
turning towards the passenger's side seems to vary from country to
country is not easily understandable if you haven't learnt it. Where I
live now, it looks more like (what in England would be) a stop signal.

I must admit I'd completely forgotten about the dip switches on the floor.
