Re: Why do we drive on the left?
Angel 04.first off unlucky eh? Celtic won it all.Secondlybecause of the american driving liscence being so easy to obtain i think you will find that it is only accepted in a few foreign countries.After residing in most European countries then somebody with an American Liscence will be required to retake an exam in that country

Re: Why do we drive on the left?
Hehe - the funniest thing about americans and driving in foreign countries is the look on their face when they hire a car and then see a gear stick!! Americans and manual gearboxes don't seem to go to well together.

Re: Why do we drive on the left?
You're a little out of date there Mik. Most Interstates have 70 mph limits over most of their length these days, just like the British motorways.

Re: Why do we drive on the left?
The problem with the Autobahns is they only go in two directions - towards France or towards Poland.

Re: Why do we drive on the left?
Surely any road only goes in two directions anyway - where you have been and where you are going to!

Re: Why do we drive on the left?
Soon it will be illegal to drive on the left in the UK, such as is flying the flag. This is because it causes offence to some groups who move here........hee hee
