khunsanuk Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hi, "Which is wrong? Left or right...." That's easy... Left is the opposite of Right, Right is the opposite of Wrong, hence Left = Wrong Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayjann Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 easy question and answer. as you say we shake with the right hand because the sword was carried to the left. to use the sword meant using the right hand,hence an empty right hand meant it was safe to approach the person.

sayjann Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 'Left is the opposite of Right, Right is the opposite of Wrong, hence Left = Wrong' you were born in a Country which drives on the Right but live in a Country which drives on the Left. which do you prefer?.

ALHOLK Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Hi! I was born in a country that drove on the left side but now drives on the right. I got my drivers licence 2 months before the change and I say that there is no difference. It's all about what you are used to. As a side note all cars and lorries were were built for right hand traffic so only the busses had to altered. regards ALHOLK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the interests of safety, you are advised to practise this in your country of origin for a week or two before driving in the UK.? ***You must be kidding! So, if I'm making a trip from Thailand to the States and unsure of being able to handle driving again on right side of the road, it's suggested I practice driving on the right side ...while in Thailand??? Gee, Brit logic is seemingly equivalent to Thai logic :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEFT IS BEST AND DON'T FORGET IT....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
