Ha Ha!
I love it.
The Napoleon reference is quite correct, and nobody likes the bluddy french, not even the bluddy french.
Stick-shift? didya hear about the yankee teenage car-jackers that took so long trying to figure out how to make the car "go" that the police stood outside the coffee shop chowing down doughnuts to see what they'd do next, and laughing at them? (true story).
The killer - The EU has graciously "allowed" the UK to keep imperial measures - why?
(have you ever tried to estimate how much it would cost to change all the road signs?). |

There is very strong evidence that the Romans (Imperial variety, not the modern ones) drove on the left.
If it was good enough for Gaius Julius Caesar et al, then it should be good enough for everyone else.
Incidentally, the USA didn't all change to driving on the right at the same time. There were places where they were driving motor vehicles on he left into the 20th century. It was probably Henry Ford and his mass produced left-hand-drive cars that forced the issue for them. |

Have a long think about this, if they have to change the side:
The cost and time to change all traffic lights, road markings, layouts etc - it's impossible. |

Hibeeechick

you have already raised this point and the question is resolved why do so again? Don't you think millions of accidents would be caused if all of a sudden we said "ok, everyone drive on the left now"? you have made your point. |

Where is your statistical evidence?
If it happens then people whose names start A to M will have to change at one time and then everyone else can change at a later date. This should then avoid confusion. Hey, maybe just left handed people could change! |

First off most americans dont like driving sticks, & dont bother to learn so the shifting really doesent matter. The auto industry doesent even bother to make manual trans over here. So if someone has a american car with a manual, then that gearbox is ordered from a foreign company. Also if you move the wheel to the right side of the car then you have to reverse the direction of the roads. it'd be almost impossible to merge left onto the highway with cars in you're blindspot if u were on the passenger side of the vehicle. Just more accidents if you ask me. |

This question is moot.You drive on your side and we will drive on our side.What you do in your country means very little. |
