Malta is listed as driving on the left, but anyone who has been there will tell you otherwise, they drive on the shady side.

So you think that is confusing??????? Have you given consideration to railway gauges? Just take Australia for instance. WHAT A STUFF UP

There's only one gauge in Australia now. It's the States that have got it all wrong.

In Vietnam they don't just confine themselves to the road ... any flat surface is fine. Good fun though.

was in Vietnam a couple of months ago, and unless it was a main road, they drove on whatever bloody side they wanted. come to think, that goes for every SE asian country I've been too!
Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how popular it remains!

Hi Jon,
Just back from a trip to India. While the steering wheel is on the right and they are meant to drive on the left, I can tell you it's every person for themselves. Leaving Mumbai for Pune had a two lane rd taking about 6 lanes of traffic going in all directions. Coupled with Monsoon season made for an interesting trip.

Hi Jon,
That plus about 30cm deep water to get through. Amazing to see Rickshaws plowing through, water over the floor.

Have driven in France on the right and its a lot easier than you think, kind of a oppersite logic, within minutes it seemed to be second nature.

The most scarey thing was how easily I got used to it!!
