In July 2025, I entered Sweeney’s Garage on Bridgefoot Street, in inner city Dublin, as a learner driver in a Ford Fiesta, with an intermittent indicator fault.
A later mechanic diagnosed a blown fuse, found the original switch fully functional, and noted that the replacement still retained its “peel off” sticker.
I possessed almost no technical knowledge.
The action was skewed by the phallogocentricity of key components: the indicator, the fuse, almost every tool, the mechanic’s tone, perhaps the very Ford Fiesta.
Knowledge creates authority.
