6. I quit drinking over 20 years ago so it'll be iced coffee for me!

Many of the countries I picked were just guesses but I chose nations that were part of the old British Empire. Figuring that they adopted the style of driving on the left as the home country did.

[MrScorpio]

10. One Iced Coffee

[PotatoChip]

Just out of curiosity, if there are any DUer's

either from, or very familiar w/these countries, do people in crowds generally walk on the left or right side? I've noticed that people here (usually) seem to veer to the right on a crowded sidewalk or in a mall, ect. Just wondering if our driving habits have anything to do w/it? :shrug:

[struggle4progress]

14. North Carolina? Not sure: sometimes it's hard to tell what side of the road they're driving on here.

[krispos42]

15. Without looking anywhere, I'll guess...

England
Wales
Scotland

(does that count for 3 or 1?)


Japan

Australia

New Zealand

Jamaica

India

Nigeria

Ummmm... British Virgin Islands?

Fuck, I don't know. Bermuda, maybe. They're a country, right? Or are they a British possession?

Maybe Sri Lanka, too.

I think in "The Bourne Supremacy" the movie opened in Bangladesh, and I think they drove on the left as well.

And if Bangladesh does, maybe Pakistan does too!




How did I do?

[krispos42]

16. Looking over this thread, I noticed one thing...

...all the left-side countries are geographically isolated from the rest of the world. Islands, or hemmed in my massive mountains.


This is probably for the best. :D

[dimbear]

18. There is of course a legend behind this choice. It depends on

whether you want passing drivers to have easy access to one another with their swords and/or whips, or whether they have to bend across.

[Kaleva]

26. It's a helluva lost easier to spear an opposing motorist in the UK then here in the US.

[Lance_Boyle]

19. US Virgin Islands, St. Thomas specifically.

I'm happy with 1:1, and brought my own beer.

[LeftinOH]

20. Island nations are always a good guess: UK, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Australia,

Taiwan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka. Then there's India, Pakistan.

[ohiosmith]

21. Don't they drive on the left in all countries? Left one way, right the other and versa/visa.
