==Controlling an Automobile== For the most part, controlling a car or truck has remained the same since the early 1900s. Still, innovations and research into ergonomics have improved many aspects of driving while also standardizing many of its aspects around the world (the most radical difference you'll find between different cars nowadays are if they're right-side driving or left-side driving). Here are the key parts of controlling an automobile: *'''Steering Wheel''': The start of the steering column and the most direct way a driver controls their vehicle. Contains the horn, [[flumph|air bag]], controls for the turn signals, windshield wipers, and the ignition. *'''Gear Stick''': A automobile is primarily controlled through the steering wheel but the ''Gear Stick'' which connects to the ''Gear Box'' changes the car into different gears that change how the car moves. The primary and most common gear states are: *Park: Stops your car from rolling away by causing the gears to be locked in position, keeping the wheels locked as well. *Neutral: Disconnects your wheels from the transmission, allowing you to turn your steering wheel without worrying about moving forward. *Reverse: Allows you to go in reverse, note that you can still use the accelerator and the brake while going in reverse. *Drive: The star of the show, makes your back (drive) wheels (Or all wheels if you have a 4-wheel drive) go forward.
