Default best waders??

Hello Greg,

I think maybe less safe but not necessarily unsafe. I do drive in my waders
occasionally. In my case at least, my wading boots are significantly bigger
than my street shoes and I drive a vehicle which requires operating a clutch
pedal as well as a brake and accelerator. I remember in 1964 when I went
shopping for my first car after graduating from university, I looked at a
Lotus Seven. There were a number of reasons why I did not buy it, one of
which was that the footwell was so narrow that my two feet covered the three
pedals. I could not operate the clutch without fouling the accelerator and
vice-versa. My current car of course is not that bad.

Best regards,

Yuji Sakuma

Correction: "I could not operate the clutch without fouling the
accelerator.." should have read "I could not operate the clutch without
fouling the brake.." I also could not operate the accelerator without
fouling the brake. Other things I remember about the Seven was that the
seat was about 50% too narrow and the car did not have a heater.

I drive a truck with a stick in my waders all the time, but I have
little feet. ( I know, I know little feet little.......)
