I would add an asterisk there and say this should reflect the driving/roads convention used in the country. Where I live, the driver's seat is on the right side of a car and on escalators most people stand still on the left, letting the right side clear for walking.
Fair point. Although London threw me for a loop because it appeared to be the same as a right and driving. Be aware of the local customs, and be aware if you are blocking people
To make matters more complicated i believe (but may be wrong) in Japan Tokyo and Osaka have opposite conventions. So it can even come down to the city level.
It is very carbrain rot but I call them highway rules. On countries that drive on the right, the right side if for on-off ramps and cruising. Left side is for passing. No one expects to be passed on the right side, because that is the biggest blind spot on cars. Switch for countries that drive on the left side.
This is one I’m guilty of. There are too many left lane campers and I just don’t have patience for that anymore. Why do so many drivers immediately move to the fast lane rather than “stay right except to pass”?
Why do so many drivers insist their definition of fast is the one true definition, rather than choose the lane based on relative speed and let the cops worry about who is too fast?
