Some vehicles I saw

I saw someone turning left from River to Holborn in a car with the steering wheel on the right side. Driver was having a heck of a time seeing if there was oncoming traffic.

Also, for bad bicyclist of the week: dressed in dark clothes, no lights, reflectors or helmet, on the wrong side of the road, moving at high speed and the detail that won him the prize, mp3 player and headphones, volume loud enough I could hear the music across Queen St.

In the US, mail delivery trucks used in "rural" areas have the steering wheel on the wrong side, so the driver can reach the mailbox without unbuckling the seat belt. ("Rural" is defined as any area where the mailboxes are on the curb instead of the building proper.)

Parking enforcement here in Saskatoon uses some vehicles with right hand drive.
