And what is a gallon?
If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that "says something" about your personality, don't bother. You don't have a personality. A mental illness, maybe - but not a personality. - Charlie Brooker My Photos/CP Flickr Group - ScrewTurn Wiki v3

To say nothing about driving on the wrong side. What's with that? Isn't that a bit extreme, even if you don't want to do what the French do? :)
Best wishes, Hans
Actually it is the safer side. Human brains have a tendency to turn left to avoid a crash, (this is standard in aviation), and in UK this means going up the embankment or hitting a wall. In the US this means crossing into the oncoming traffic, very nasty. And this is not Nationalistic BS...many studies will show this, also there is a five out of six chance you are right handed, and where better to keep you dominant hand than on the wheel. Samoa recently changed from right to left.

Your right! It's always good to keep the commonly stronger right hand on the wheel while changing gear. Assuming you can handle changing gear yourself ;)

A UK or US gallon? :)

1 US Gallon = 0.8327 Imperial Gallons. Now do the maths.

And passing on the left makes it easier to draw your sword and have at the blaggard trying to deprive you of your colonial birthright (or is that birthleft?).

Oh I totally agree. feet/inches/pounds/stone are all stupid. Personally I do everything in metric except driving speed limits. (I have a digital speed display in my car which has the option of displaying in mph or kph, and I've tried but I just can't quite make it work in my head in kph when all the road signs are in mph) What I'm interested in is if there is some sensible historical reason why mm/dd/yyyy is used over there rather than dd/mm/yyyy. (It sounds like keefb has what sounds like a sensible reason)

I read a while ago that while driving on the wrong side, that to begin with your chance of having a crash is less because you are concentrating a lot, it's only later when you relax a bit that you risk letting your normal reflexes take over and go to your usual side.

I had that in LA, was driving fine, then after a meal, jumped into the car and went about 300 yards before wifey said, "Other Side!". Thankfully nobody noticed!

See I've always wondered this, I'm left handed, and feel very comfortable changing gear with the left with the right hand on the wheel. I've imagined changing gear with my right hand, and it feels odd!
