Default Wrong side?

Tony - if CMPs were meant to be driven on the right-hand side of the road our Canadian friends would have put the steering wheel on the left. It is plain to me these beasts were DESIGNED to drive on the left, so that's what I intend to do. Other drivers will soon see the error of their ways.
As for the local fare, I've coped before and I can do it AGAIN. Besides, how else will I manage to drive on the "wrong" side of the road?
Perhaps a compromise will be to keep in the middle like many drivers do.

After flying halfway round the world in an Economy sized seat, Keith is going to be feted by a plethora of local luminaries, confused by Jiff's interpretation of GMT and "primed with various libations" which will react violently with his unaccustomed constitution, after which (Jetlagged and hungover) he will be put behind the wheel of a powerful motor vehicle (the said Ford) and set loose on frozen, icy public roads and attempt to drive on the wrong side of the road.
Am I right in thinking that this might not be the best thing to try on FRIDAY THE 13th?:
