madwullie Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I was watching a documentary the other night, and apparently Myanmar has (one of?) the highest road death rates in the world, because one of the generals consulted a shaman, who advised that he change the side of the road they drive on overnight. So now cars drive on the same side of the road that all the cars there have the steering wheel on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gormless tosser Matheson should be focusing on the utter ruin he is presiding over in Scotland's aviation industry. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, if you search "Lone behold" in the search function, it's been used a couple of times on here before VT used it https://www.pieandbovril.com/forum/index.php?/search/&q="Lone behold"&search_and_or=or&sortby=relevancy Although VT is the only poster to use it in anger twice.

I think Top Gear did a special in Myanmar a few years ago and they explained that all the traffic drives on the left but all the vehicles are still left hand drive which means that when folk are getting off buses they need to step off into traffic rather than onto the pavement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and when you need to overtake, you're actually looking up the inside lane. Never thought about buses. Nasty. It was Simon Reeve I was watching.
