"It's another configuration. Unlike a standard H, a dog leg has reverse up here, in the upper left." She taps the place where first gear is located in this vehicle. "Always check. It's pretty common in larger vehicles. So, say, that thing over there?" She nods her head through the windscreen at a much larger transport style truck. "That could very well be a dog leg. Always check."
