Bingo! A quick and correct answer :thumbsup: Half an extra point for the extensive, detailed description of the type designation.
Half a point is deducted for not knowing the driver's shoe size.

I don't know the size of the driver's shoes. But he does. On the other hand, I know the size of mine, but he doesn't. So our shoes are well guarded.
