I received this from a friend. It's quite an eye opener about drinking, drugs and driving. It's really well done. Makes you think....

Normal

When I watched that video, I thought, "No wonder they're having so many crashes, they're driving willy-nilly on the wrong side of the road!" Then I saw the cops arriving and realized we were in England.

Still highly instructive. Probably those who watch the video are not those
who need the reminder.

The accents were Australian (I think) ... they also drive on the left.
It's a shocking video ... hope enough people see it to make a difference.

I feel physically sick after watching that - thankfully with no sound - and yes, Login, the video was apparently made by the Australian state of Victoria, although I feel it would apply anywhere in the western world.

Purely out of interest, do Canadians drive on the left as well ?

Marg~Canadians drive on the right.

marg

thanks, Lynn..

..and probably just as well, given that Americans drive on the right..

I was just wondering about the old Commonwealth thing, and whether other Commonwealth countries drive on the left or right ?

I think NZ, Australia, India, Malaysia and Indonesia (not a Commonwealth country), Ireland, all the south African nations, etc., are 'left hand drive', but hopefully that won't matter for this Fun Tuesday or Forum

My goodness… I am so behind the ThinkDraw times.
A hearty congratulations to Baldur and Robert. Wishing the two of you continued love and happiness in your marriage.

I’m just checking in to see what’s new at TD. I was hoping Clo would have her yearly collage posted (as always, she never disappoints). Glad to see that, for the most part, the gang is all here. As well as some very talented newcomers—like this fella above me for example. I am ashamed of myself for not having drawn anything in 2013. This past year has been a very eventful one for me outside of ThinkDraw. I will have to fill you all in on the drama when I have the time.

But for now, I just want to say Merry Christmas TD family and Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and Jolly Saturnalia to you too!

Baldur

Omnes laeti, ut Saturnalia

Happy New Year to all TDers! May 2014 bring you joy!
