That bar on the swing out table keeps you from being able to get your legs under the table, doesn’t it?
Doesn’t look like the driver’s seat will rotate that far to worry about it… Steering wheel is in the way… But, if that wasn’t the case, you would just need to be already facing that direction before you swing the table into position to get around it…
