That's the beauty of a proper gear lever ..... stick the car in D which leaves your left hand free to hold the carrier bag :D
but then, how do you indicate if your left hand is occupied with holding the carrier bag??;););)

I've driven in Mumbai, nobody indicates, brake lights are a luxury, although horn sounding is a national requirement but entirely ignored - as is all common sense road craft.

Decades ago. Simon Bates, DJ on Radio 2 (or was it Radio 1 before that descended into the 'toddler' clientele:p), did a 'round the World' programme over a number of weeks/months. When in Antigua, he made mention of a 4 way Stop junction just outside of the Capital, St Johns, and that there was no 'convention' evident as to whom should proceed.

Some months afterwards, in a hire car, I found myself at that very location. Three other vehicles waiting at the other adjoining roads, and nobody willing to take the initiative.:( Not me. I'm through there like a shot.:) The local populace can be as 'laid-back' as they wish but......:D

I did get some 'loathsome' looks for apparently not complying with some unspecified convention as to the priority of said vehicles.:rolleyes:
