It seems that we in the UK, in an effort to harmonise with out cousins in the 
EU, will be switching to driving on the right at some point in the near future 
anyway. The change will be phased in gradually as people replace their current 
right-hand drive cars and lorries etc for new left-hand drive ones.

This will also make it cheaper for car manufacturers as they will no longer 
have to build two types of car for the European markets.


Cheers,
Norman.
