Claret,
Airlink/QantasLink BAe146, even with a tiller on the RHS, the F/O was, sadly, prohibited by SOP from taxiing.
with you in said seat, was it any wonder?

No NWS on the FO's side, so if the NWS is INOP what does the MEL say?
My Boeing one says ya can't go. For pretty obvious reasons, I would have thought.

Some people might be surprised to know that there are jets out there that rely on full rudder then differential braking for directional control.
The Mirage was like that. Oh, and the Macchi too.
