We were on the A30 at that moment but ended up on the M3 to Winchester and Salisbury later.

It was fun though. Not bad driving really. People are good drivers, despite the speed.

Coming back to Canada - to Canadian drivers - after that, frustrating!!!

@goldenphoenixnaruto fair enough

[goldenphoenixnaruto]

@bagno31 No, I didn't. I don't study the roads of other countries when I can barely keep up with the ones in my own. That still does not change the fact that some Americans refer to any car that has a reverse steering column as "European" not "UK". The others say "Foreign". I don't know why; I didn't coin the term. I simply grew up hearing that phrase, and repeated it. I'll guess I'll stop using that since, now that I remember, Japan drives on the opposite side as well.

@goldenphoenixnaruto u do know they only drive on the right hand side in UK, the rest of europe drive on the left.

lol thats why we think the yanks are bad drivers you can only go 55 and you still crash....

*brain shuts down because the steering wheel isn't on the left side of the car and you're not driving on the right side of the road* x.x Americans may drive bassackwards compared to most of the world...but, I still like our way. Probably because I've grown up in America...Though driving with a European car on American roads wouldn't be that bad...Just like riding in the passenger side. I'll shut up about cars now >.>
