Should've driven on the right (ie left) side of the road in the first place and not caved in to all the migrants from continental Europe when North America was "discovered*" (I'm not solely going to blame the French and Germans!).

(Yes, I do see the flaw in my argument! Cars haven't been around that long. Or more than single carriageway roads!) Grin Grin


*School history lessons may be poor, but even I know that it certainly existed before 1493 (or whenever it was), and people and animals called it home. Smiley

Listen men.. It's 'Look, Listen and Run like a scared Gazelle'. Although I read a news article from the CBC that praises the Brits for their courtesy on the roads and their driving skills.

I've heard one report of a tourist in Cheshire asking if they're still in England.

...Okay fine, I can see why they might've had to check.
