    No 'merikuns say they're using "Standard" measurements... If you say "Imperial" to them they say "Huh?".

    Yep, away from the cities lane discipline is very strict---they park in the left land and drive for hundreds of miles...Since even rudimentary literacy is rare they can't quite read the WHITE signs --which means OBLIGATORY--which say "Keep Right except to pass" and "slower traffic keep right"......
    So they drone along in the left lane...for hours.

    Often I have to pinch myself to remember I'm not driving in a RHD country since everything seems reversed, all passing occurring what would be the "wrong" way.. But hey we have more Freedom™ that you.
    We even trademarked it.
