Yeah, I know. One could always remove ambiguity by saying "correct" though :-)

Well I've driven on Dutch motorways and was surprised at some of the dangerous practices that you don't get here, e.g. you're in the outside, overtaking lane, rapidly approaching a car in the middle lane and about to pass him. He suddenly decides he wants to pass the guy in front of him so whips out into your lane, right in front of you. From my experience this is typical of the whole continent, esp. ITALY. I think we have some of the safest roads in Europe at least (if over congested).

I've said this before but I much prefer to have my right, skilful, strong arm controlling the car, and my left automaton arm doing the simple gear changing, etc. Having driven on the RHS in many countries, I find it takes but 15 mins to become accustomed to and comfortable with the inversion, even in my own RH drive car. The human brain is amazingly flip-floppable :-)
