Unless you drive a Japanese car....  . Well all the Jap cars i have driven have had the indicator switch on the right.... I have only driven all of

Did anybody read it properly?
The schedule is for all vehicles registered before August 1st 2000 to swap in April 2006 and all vehicles registered after August 1st 2000 to change
over in September 2006. Myself, I am sticking to my middle of the road policy.
For six months we would be driving in opposite directions on the same side . Perhaps it's a good job I made it up
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

i had a conversation like this at work with some one who was adamant it would be asy to change over, wouldn't accept it needed serious
re-engineering of the road system to work eg cambers on roads etc.

Didn't the Swedes and/or Danes change over circa 1960 odd ? Must have been fun :-)
As for me two worst place must be Inndonesia -- they may drive on the correct side but still don't have a driving test or traffic patrols amd
of course the ubiquitous Honda 50 carries the same load we need a Transit for in Europe..

I did not caused too many problems back in those days.
With the overcrowded roads and traffic agression of today that would be a nice one i guess,changing direction.
Does anyone knows if Napoleon could look over the steering wheel or did he had to look between the spokes?

OK.
so we drive on the left because of our sword hand, (feasible.)
Railways were built by the Brits and therefore run on the left. (makes me proud)
Why do river boats drive on the right...

the camber on the road makes it easier4 to get on horses if you ride on the left.
No it makes the water run down the drains. In medieval jousting tournaments the riders rode on the left side of a divider so it goes back a long way
in our history. By the way conrod, the left is considered to be the dark side throughout history, right back to the heraldic symbols on shields where
a left hander would have a "bar sinistre" in his family crest.
