@SarcasticRover is telling us "Do not come to Mars." Perhaps
its
commentary need censoring ;-)
He also get angry when you mention that using the imperial
system
is idiotic.
But the imperial system *isn't* idiotic. :o)
And everyone should drive on the left.
Driving on the left goes back to the times when coaches
(carriages) were still in use. This was to avoid that drivers
would accidentally hit each other with their whips when a coach
would come from the opposite direction. No joke. As regards cars,
driving on the left is highly unintuitive for most people as the
majority of drivers are right-handed. There is no ergonomic or
technical reason why cars should drive on the left. In most parts
of the world driving on the right was adopted from early on as it
is more intuitive (for most people).
