Default Hey your on the wrong side of the truck.

Hi All

Hey your on the wrong side of the truck, is a very common remark hollered from the side of parade routes as I drive by in any of my CMPs. Standard reply with a straight face is "no I'm on the right side"

Of course in normal driving this is not such a noticeable issue as so many drivers seem to drive in the middle of the road anyway.

Cheers Phil

PS I like to see a map with red for right hand sided, blue for left hand side and green for down the middle.

A 3rd color should be added as there is a country in which both sides of the road are used...

Default Marco,

That is just because we have such narrow roads in the Netherlands....


Cheers,

According to a recent news release, starting on 1 January 2015, all cars in Australia will drive on the right side of the road...., if this works, in 2016 they will have the trucks and buses do it also.

Hi Guys

Hey Rick, maybe Clive is right. With the amount of head on prangs we are having I think some have jumped the gun on 2015 and are already practicing driving on the right side of the road, hang on, most of those bingles were caused by overseas visitors who drive on the left.

Cheers

Tony
