    Wrong side of the road! USA
    My father drove down the wrong side of the road between Pheonix and LA, about 40 mins I would imagine.. he travels a lot and gets very tired, he didn't relise he was on the wrong side of the road... has this happened to you?

    That's not the wrong side of the road, that's the right side.

    Oh and this clip can't go unposted:

    "An idiot driving on the wrong side if he road, you say? Feckin hell, Mark, they're ALL doing it!"

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    No cause the steering wheel is on the other side so it just feels wrong straight away if i went on the other side. At times i get into the wrong lane because of it though. More so over here than when over there for some reason.

    Yep, in Barcelona, made a right turn and had to swerve between oncomming traffic, pretty scary to be fair

    He was also going 800kph which is equally worrying.

    Not to mention you dont simply "drift" to the wrong side of the road between Los Angeles and Phoenix when that road isn't a road, it's I-10.

    Maybe he was driving in the left lane of Westbound traffic but thats not the wrong side of the road.

    You can now download an App that will tell you that you are driving on the wrong side of the road. :p

    I've spent a few weeks driving in France and I never drive on the wrong side, but why do those stupid furriners keep flashing me? Many of them are driving at high speed on the wrong side and around rindabites the wrong way. :confused:

    I dont get how you could drive down the wrong side in a different country seeing as everything is on that side of the road ie; sliproads, roundabout signs.....
