Subject: Re: Help : Transporter Pulls to the Left

It is strange to me.  Australians drive on the left, but they were a
British colony.  What really amazes me is Japan and I think other parts
of Asia/Indonesia might too.  There were few cars and trucks before
WWII, and we occupied them during the post war rebuilding.  Where did
the left side driving come from there?
------------------------------------------------
They used to drive on the left (side of the road) in Australia as in
many former British colonies but they converted to the right. Rather
silly whan you consider they are so close to Japan and they drive on the
left.
The silliest thing of all is that the US still does not use metric.
