Drive on Left or Right Facts
 

Very interesting link Western SMT never gave it a thought before :o

Learning new things every day on this site.

Just as well, as I am probably forgetting old things by the hour>Lol

I heard the Ireland were going to experiment with trucks and buses driving on the right. If successful they would get the cars and bikes to do it too!...LOL

creeps off to rest in a cold dark room...LOL

We get a ferry here every week in the summer from the Faroes. we drive on both sides of the road for the first 5mls from the port after the ferry docks until everyone gets sorted

Most interesting.A good read. I have driven in Sweden and have spoken to a few old timers (like myself) who remember driving on the left.When they changed,it caused chaos for a while.:)

A very interesting article, thankyou for posting the link.

Interesting article!
Here in sweden we drive on the right side since 3 september 1967.
Before that they drove on the left side. But... the cars had the steering wheel on the left side too... Buses often had it on the right side, but some of them had them in the middle and some at the left side. One bad thing with the switch-over was that the tram service was cancelled and almost every tram track were 'dismantled'. But only in Stockholm. Malmö had their trams until 1973-ish and Göteborg and Norrköping still have their trams.

By the way, on the horse time I would have had some problems. I'm not right-handed. Neither am I left-handed. I'm ambidextrous :)

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous!!!
