Re: [MBZ] Some things are just plain wrong
While some countries have transferred from left to right, the only case recorded of a transfer from right to left is in Okinawa on 30 July 1978. found this tidbit on: http://users.pandora.be/worldstandards/driving%20on%20the%20left.htm I lived in Japan for seven years while in the Navy, and often found myself walking to the left side of the car! When I returned to the US, I then began to absentmindedly walk to the right side of the car. I had my first encounter with the 123 MB in Japan, a buddy bought a 76 280E with a 4-speed and left hand steering. I was prout of myself to be able to switch from my rhd car to his MB without suffering a loss of functionality. -- Rory Morrison Oroville, WA 1985 300SD 1982 300TD

India drives on the left b/c it was a British colony for 200 years.
