There's the option to have the D-Wheel run on autopilot during a duel, but in some situations, it's either not allowed or not advised. If it's set to autopilot and you're in a dangerous duel, chances are you'll want to be steering yourself.
[ How does he know this? Because there was in fact a duel where autopilot could've killed him, and he's got the scar on his abdomen to prove it. Not that he's about to start showing it off to people, but he has the experience to say these things at least. Yuusei reaches out to run his hand over the seat of the D-Wheel, remaining silent for a moment before speaking again. ]
This D-Wheel carries the wishes of my friends. Without it, without pushing to build it and do whatever we could to keep it together, things would be a lot different for all of us.
[ Of course, none of those friends that helped him build this are even here, sadly enough. ]
I try to avoid dueling in the rain, but it doesn't rain very often anyway. It snows even less often. The stadiums have cover in the event of weather, but a lot of Riding Duels now take place on special highways. If someone's flagged down for a duel, the request goes to Security and a Duel Lane and route is picked. Once it's authorized, any traffic on those lanes needs to move to a different lane and the route picked is the one that duelists are forced to remain on until the duel is over. Things can get unpredictable on the highways, though.
