Alpo Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 If I ever thought about it at all, I assumed they drove on the right. I assume they drive on the right in Mexico also. You know, we drive on the right here in North America. Then I saw this comic this morning. This is a Canadian comic strip, and it certainly looks, in that last panel, as if they drive on the left. So I decided to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still hand Bill Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Pretty sure it’s the same as the US. Right hand drive is usually only in countries that were under British rule. Any under French are left hand drive. Seems Napoleon thought it was uncivilized to meet with weapon hand to weapon hand and thus we drive on the right side of the road.

Eyesa Horg Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 The couple times I've been there, they drove on the right like us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son is too and plays guitar right handed which means his left hand does all the fingering. He's done well for himself that way. Do you play bass LH or RH? Just curious.

Blackwater 53393 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I’m a total southpaw! I’m left handed, left footed, left eyed, and better left alone!! When I tried to play bass and guitar, (I say “tried” because I was never any good at either) I played right handed. I quickly learned that it was far better to let more talented people do the things that I don’t do well!! Perhaps I would have been some better if I had just turned the guitar upside down, (My buddy, Kieth Horn is lefty and just turns a standard bass around the other way. He’s one of the best!). I am “instrumentally challenged”, but if you ask the other guys in my band, they’ll tell you that you can leave the “instru” off of that statement!!

Heck, even the English know the right side is the correct side. They used to joust riding on the right to take out their advisory to their left. Reflective of politics, no?

Think he was a convict. But the band had done one of those "invite somebody up from the audience to play", and one of the members loaned him his guitar, and Fonda, who is left-handed, just turned it over and played it. I'm fully aware that they could have (and most likely did) dub the music, but his hands looked like he knew what he was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Ya don't get around much if you don't know which side of the road Canadians drive on. On the other hand, they use kilometers, which are totally unsuited to a large country. Even Britain still uses miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
