Then also I got a great deal for a rental car, an automatic transmission for 125 Us dollars for a week.
Went from Sydney to Katoombah, and I had to say to myself, stay in the left lane, that is the slow lane, and there were at least two speed traps along the way.
To avoid the dingoes?
Because that’s the direction their toilets flush
“Why do they drive on the left in Australia?”
Because they’re wrong.
Does Australia traffic use Roundabouts, as they do in Scotland
and England? I’ve heard they can be hectic and very confusing for many tourists.
When we were in Ireland, going straight was easy but turn on another road, watch out.
Nonstops from JFK to Sydney starting next year.
Plan JFK-SYD nonstop, Indian-Pacific train to Perth, PER-LHR nonstop, back home from London - Boston.
Circumnavigation in less than a week. What a world.
I can understand Australia, (that’s Australia, NOT Australian), but why do they drive on the left in JAPAN?
two roundabouts were installed here near us in USA and the number of accidents and near-miss accidents and road rage incidents skyrocketed
roundabouts are simply very confusing and usually don’t allow sufficient merging distances for safety, to begin with
I took a cab in England and I was hanging on for dear life. I couldn’t get used to them driving on the wrong side of the road.
They also drive on the left, in the US Virgin Islands.
The brits used Australia as a penal colony guess what side of the road they drive on.
It’s not the wrong side of the road it’s the other side of the road.
In the early days of the auto in the U.S. people drove on the left side of the road.
When steering wheels evolved on the left side of the car it changed.
Trump should fix this, they need to get right.
I wonder what they do about escalators? Keeping to the right seems to make sense all over the world - where there are rules at all.
“Roundabouts” are called “Rotaries” in Massachusetts. They all over the place, compared to many other states.
Because it is illegal to drive on the right. They are ass-backwards in Australia, UK, etc.
The French Revolution wanted to change everything for the sake of change so they changed that too--to have travelers keep to the right. Other countries followed suit, but the British were firmly opposed to the French Revolution and kept to the old ways. Naturally their colonies followed their practice (except for Canada).
Sweden only switched a few decades ago. It was one of the European countries never ruled by Napoleon.
