I always reverse park onto my drive it's easier and safer to drive off as you can see better


Well yesterday evening I had to park in forwards as there wasn't room to manuever


This afternoon I had to go out and I got in my car as usual , it was a few moments be four I realised why my steering wheel wasn't where I left it


I got in the passenger side

Are you sure you should really be driving at all?

 

[Alan 45]

If it happens again you may have a point

Just a moment....but you become as the rest of the world!!


How you feel?!?

 

[Alan 45]

Polux I believe acting stupid once in a while keeps you sane

Driving on the left is a privilege that only a few countries can do...

The persistence of habit Alan!


Though I think I can beat that ...


Many years ago while going out with my mum in her red Fiesta, I needed to stop for foggiest so we pulled into a garage.


I got my fags, came out & sat down in the car .....then I wondered where my mum had got to ....


Yes, I'd managed to get into another red Fiesta! I leapt out, dived into my mum's car Sweeney-style & shouted " drive woman, drive drive drive!! "

i used to work for a certain japanese car maker in the uk................5 out of 6 cars were lhd for export...cos i didnt have need to move cars often you could go weeks without driving a rhd.......lost count of the times i got into a car and wondered where the steering wheel was only to realise it was where it should be....on the right!

When I was twenty-one I traveled to Japan.


I was absorting designing a route across the country, tramiting the international drive license and other formalities from Catalonia, that once in Japan I discovered that all the people drives on the left!


On the left and all the road signals in Japanese!!!


I felt like a stupid!


I crossed all japan on train

I crossed all japan on train

Sounds the safest way Polux.

Lol mate, but really it's not that bad, at least you didn't put lip stick on and pretend to be the wife, refusing to put fuel in the car and being a passenger seat driver

I once loaded the boot of a car with shopping...the car wasn't even mine, same colour, the woman was at the side just staring at me...then a polite..."Excuse me." I looked at her, then the shopping, then the car and unloaded, smiled and moved away. All the time my missus was stood next to our car, three cars down, pissing herself.

I actually spent two years living in Italy, I had a left hand drive Fiat for the time I was there and carefully ensured I always stayed on the correct side of the road.


When I came home after two years I immediately shot down the wrong side of a road junction in my own car!!
