Driving on the "WRONG" Side of the Road, September 2008

Video from our FIRST TIME driving in England. The first part of the video was taken on the Isle of Wight - after we ran into a detour (or "diverted traffic" as they call it in England). It was a very scary night because there were no real street lights - and the roads were so windy and narrow we were never sure where we were going to end up! We managed to make it safely to Yarmouth! The rest of the video is of us driving through a variety of towns in England - including Exeter and on the way to Dorchester and Stonehedge. Finally we have some great video of London traffic which included the streets in front of Buckingham Palace and Piccadilly Circus - check out all those double decker buses! The video is set to ELO "Fire on Hight". Enjoy.....

nope,, thats the correct side of the road ha ha, dont worry a friends bro in law from the USa ran in a wall when he came over, ripped out the whole left hand side of the car

LOL ok Not all our roads are that narrow and amreican roads are massive their highways are about 8 lanes long where as in England our motorways only need 4 lanes were not as big so we dont need a huge road

@woodlandsteve It's considered the "wrong" side of the road because in America, or whatever country these people might be from, we drive on the right side of the road rather than the left.

If our roads were bigger we wouldn't be able to play Kirby!!

I can't stand it when people say the "wrong" side. There is no right or wrong side it's just different.

I like the affects "very good" its always scary driving on a diffrent side of the road at first but i'm sure you would agree it gets better after a couple of hrs.

It is the correct side. What is the problem anyway. Us Brits go over the channel a lot to France, Germany Spain etc, we drive on to the ferry or train using the left side of the road and get off the other side using the right side. We don't seem to have any trouble.

for fuck sake us brits think u drive on the wrong side of the road

[Healzora]

lol, we think u drive the wrong side of the road, dont be so judgemental

[Snedger]

I wonder why Americans regard driving on the left as the wrong side? In Britain we still have sections of road left intact in remote areas that were built by the Romans over 2000 years ago. Archaelogists have determined that carts were driven on the left by the wear on the stonework. So we were driving that way when the only people living in America wore feathered headresses and warpaint. Why would we change what we've always done?
