Not all of us. My newer driver is 1967.

So my routine in the B is, whenever I park, I look at the toggle =
switches to check they are all facing the same way: OFF.

BTW that is a great user interface feature of the cars of this era (up =
to the late 60s), that has been lost in modern instrument panels =E2=80=94=
 you can tell all the switches are off at a glance. In most modern cars, =
every function has a completely different interface design =
(push/pull/rock/twist) in a different location =E2=80=94 you HAVE to =
have a warning lamp or buzzer or it would be hopeless.
