After watching tonight's Top Gear featuring the LHD Focus and Porsche I thought about another idea to explore.
The Poms allow both LHD and RHD cars on their roads as indeed do we albeit those over 25 years old and special vehicles such as street sweepers, garbage trucks and some military and emergency vehicles. What if we did the same. Cars could be Left or Right hand drive but we still drive on the same side of the road as we do now. If the Poms can do it we should be able to, it is not like we are Americans or anything. Maybe an endorsement or you have to do another driving test in a LHD vehicle before you can drive a LHD. Again it would open up the choice of vehicles available...1 Shelby please... So...... Is this a good or bad idea? Are we better or worse drivers than the Poms (well everyone except AFF members of course, who are all exceptionally brilliant drivers, I know I read it on AFF) P.S. I just made this up, it is not actually going to happen (or if it is, I do not have inside knowledge). |
