The directional control lever on this vehicle requires the driver to engage the lever multiple times to indicate a change from a right turn to a left turn and vice versa. for example, making a left turn from one roadway onto another roadway, and then needing to make a quick right turn off of the 2nd roadway requires the driver to first disengage the left directional, and then in a 2nd motion, engage the right directional. it is not possible to merely move the directional lever up (to indicate a right turn) after turning left in one fluid motion. it requires a) holding the lever down to indicate a left turn b) in the middle of that turn, hitting the lever right two times to indicate a right turn. this is contrary to how typical directional levers work. often it is not possible to signal your intentions to other drivers in a timely fashion - or, the driver may hold the lever up, thinking he has engaged the right directional, but has merely disengaged the left. *tr
