When I was managing a sub company for a fortune 100 company, I ran into people all the time who believed that everyone was the same. And that you just hire a bunch of people and they all can do any job. The difference between people could be chalked up to education and opportunity.So Mark Spitz, Marilyn Monroe and Bobby Fischer were all interchangeable. Each could have done what the others did with the right education and opportunities. These misinformed people were often in HR. And they were backed by upper management.
That same logic is why this truck driver was driving an 18 wheeler the wrong way on a US interstate. Because he drove a truck somewhere he could drive a truck here. In fact if he had not driven a truck somewhere else he would get two weeks of training then be given a truck. Driving a truck is hard. And you need a lot of experience. Different weights and sizes, different cabs and highways need to be considered as the trucker makes life and death decisions every moment they are on the road. The total lack of appreciation for ones innate skills and work ethic means that poor HR policy can be just as responsible for killing people as the trucker. And maybe even more so.
I think, they drive on left in India.
That would explain him being confused.
I love to drive, and have driven in all kind of places (some very, very crazy), but I have never attempted to drive in places where they drive on left (Britain and many former British colonies, Japan).
I have been in many of those places, but I have always took bus, train or uber.
Just scares me to death!
