RHD to LHD... Cerbera or Tuscan
Discussion
Mate, you obviously haven't thought this through!:
- In a head-on collision on the continent you are 82.3% safer being on the RH side. Sorry about your passenger though!
- You pull over and want to get out of your car on a busy road, you step out onto the trotoire! (ala Swiss postmen - they ALL have RHD cars!)
- You're gonna say you can't see past the slow car in front of you on a B road - this is good news! - you now have all the excuses for having to hang back and REALLY hammer it past that car!
- On a busy narrow road with parked cars (plenty of those in France!) with a RHD car it is far easier to hug the contour of every parked car on your right, like a Mirage fighter jet!
- On a slow moving dual carriage way, it is far easier to answer all the questions about your belle voiture from the driver of the car on your RH side. Far easier to swap cigarettes and telephone number avec pretty girls as well!
- You get stopped for erratic driving, your passenger gets the ticket!
(the same concept applies when stopped at gun point by a car-jacker)
You want to say that it would be hard to get parking tickets/toll road tickets (you have a few of them too eh!) when you're on your own. This is true, however, you just need a grabber:
"Grabber" fits nicely on the shelf behind your driver seat and makes a doddle of grabbing anything from parking tickets to packets of crisps and brings the total cost of your conversion to about EUR10.- available from any good garden centre. Can't say fairer than that!
Continentals should be paying to have their LHD cars converted to RHD!

That's what I call a properly thought out argument.
