      Americans drive on the right, same as Europe. It’s us Brits that drive on the left.

        Do you call brittish/japanese cars right-hand drives or left-hand drives? As far as I knew, the cars are labelled by the position of the steering wheel not the traffic lane they ride on.

          The cars yes, the traffic no.

          You said driving on the left. That means the left side of the street.

            So if you’re driving a car and the steering wheel is on the left side of it, you are NOT driving on the left?

            You’re arguing semantics here. You did understand my point and is spinning it your way to try and sound smart.

            As the legend Michael Jordan would say: “stop it, get some help”

              Correct. I would drive on the right (side of the road) with this left hand drive car.

        You nowadays let your colonies do whatever they want?

          Most ex colonies drive on the left.

          We don’t let them, we’re powerless to stop them. And it’s not like we’re making good decisions either.
