More Words, Deeper Hole

Well, I guess driving with the steering wheel on the wrong side happens all the time over here. Often see cars with foreign plates in the UK and people from the UK often go driving around the rest of Europe. After all, one way to get through the tunnel is in a car on a shuttle train. (As a non driver, I can't comment on how much of a problem this is.)

I used to work in an office overlooking Newgate Street by St. Paul's Cathedral. I was standing at the window one morning when I heard an emergency vehicle down below. I looked down and cars in the street were trying to move out the way of the emergency. One car had French plates and he must have moved his steering wheel by reflex, because he swerved to the right, right into the back of a taxi.
