Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road

Driving on the left provides a unique set of challenges, especially if you are used to having wide lanes and a country that was built for the automobile. Unfortunately the UK was built on the village system, for horses, and the large people carriers of today don't exactly fit into those narrow streets. Driving at 50 miles an hour, head on into another vehicle, that is playing chicken, can make your heart miss a few beats every now and again. An alien looking from the outside in, would question the insanity of it all, but I think it deserves a closer look. Drivers, pedestrians, motorcyclists and horses have all figured out how to co-exist is a very small space. They have realized that if they don't give up their natural instinct and seed a little bit of what they want, the whole system will grind to a halt. Pedestrians have the right of way, because public transport, takes priority over all else. There would be no other way to move this many people in such a short space of time. Bus drivers and motorcyclist are a special breed, and deserve a medal every time they complete a journey. Nobody messes with the horses because drivers know if they get to too close the horse will kick the windows out! And as for the head on collisions at fifty miles an hour, it's just like the Texas Hold ems, most of the time they are just bluffing.......................
