I can just imagine doing the same thing for switching over to metric in the US!

The question remains, which side is better?
Aircraft carriers are built with the superstructure (the control tower, if you will) on the starboard (right) side because pilots tend to veer left if they abort a landing. (Why, I don’t know. Predominant right handedness maybe?).
If car drivers react the same way, it would mean that drivers would veer to the left, i.e. into the middle of road instead of into the ditch. Good or bad? Normally it is better to stay on the road, but, if there is an 18 wheeler coming the other direction …
Wonder if any scientific research has been made into car accidents correlated to left/right side driving.

the metric system… after moving to the UK, i started carrying this conversion table in my vallet: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tapaninaho/492134250/
only thing worse than living with in a county using the imperial system is living in a country that can’t make up it’s mind on which to use.

That’s a massive switch. I think there were less accidents than before for mainly 2 reasons.
1) every1 is more alert. it’s a big change.
2) the steering wheel was on the left side of the car. Here in the UK it’s on the right and driving is on the left. So it works fine. I think if your cars had the steering wheel on the left then it wouldnt be so bad. But that’s a much harder thing to change.
Excellent information. I never knew swedes changed which side they had driven on.

They didn't move "from the left side of the road to the right side", they moved from the left side of the road to the wrong side.
