When driving at night...

...don't confuse the downshift paddle with the hi/lo beam stalk. It's just plain embarrassing. 3,500 miles and still learning!

No Generic - you have!

Down shift paddle and HI/Lo on left of wheel- at least in a RHD car!

Nope - downshift definitely on left! Trust me... think you're flicking lights back onto low beam and find yourself slowing down quite quickly.

mmm... They look a step in the right direction. Did you manufacture those yourself?

I lament at the quality of the standard paddles & the crappy, naff sounding, non-tactile swichgear they operate. I use the paddles pretty much every journey and would love to replace the standard stuff with nicely sprung microswitches and cnc'd paddles.

When dad drove my S4 to Le Mans this year after I broke my arm, he kept flashing people when going for the cruise control (his Audi doesn't have cruise)
