Anne Clark+FollowFaded Road Markings Are a Real HazardEver had to squint to figure out which lane you’re in? You’re not alone—1 in 6 drivers say they’ve nearly crashed because road markings are so faded. It’s gotten worse over the last five years, with most people now just guessing where to go. Some even end up in the wrong lane or overshoot junctions! The RAC is calling this a ‘frightening’ issue and wants the government to step in before things get even riskier. #Transportation #roadsafety #driving60Share

schmidtgeorge+FollowThose days we used to shift gears from the steering wheel 🤔There was a time when a lot of cars had a manual transmission shifter on the steering column, a setup people called a "three on the tree." The whole point was to get the gear shifter off the floor so you could fit three people comfortably in the front seat. It was a huge deal back then for passenger space. This design was on some cars for decades. Eventually, automatic transmissions became the standard, and the "three on the tree" disappeared. But here is the crazy part. It is making a comeback! A lot of new cars and EVs are putting the shifters back on the steering column for the same reason—to save space. The only difference is they are automatic now. 😂 It's all my fault for being too young, otherwise I would really want to try this kind of car. #Cars #Nostalgia #RetroTech #CarHistory #ManualTransmission #Driving #EVs 5924Share
