It's time the world all drove on the same side.

An interesting sign seen constantly along the Great Ocean Road recently was "In Australia we drive on the left hand side" or something similar. Good work I thought as I remembered back to my "difficulties" keeping on the right hand side of the road on France. Sorry to that bloke in Marseilles if you're reading this. Anyway I thought, it's probably a fairly useless sign to most visitors to Oz. It's like putting up a sign that says. "In Australia we write in English" Pointless to those you're trying to communicate to. This was reinforced to me when later along the GOR a person that looked like a tourist tore out of a T junction and onto my side of the road. Only my cat like reflexes avoided catastrophe. It was obvious to me by the look on the other guys face that he had just realised/remembered that "In Australia we drive on the left hand side" So I thought well you know with the world shrinking and people travelling this sort of thing is going to happen lots. It's hard to break a habit and nobody tests you to see if you can actually safely make the change from left to right, or the other way around. So the simple answer is that we should all drive on the same side. Being magnaminous I was going to say right as I assumed that most of the world drove on that side.
But.... look at this list of countries that drive on the left.

Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bermuda, Bhutan, Bophuthatswana, Botswana, British Virgin Islands, Brunei, Cayman Islands, Channel Islands, Ciskei, Cyprus, Dominica, FalklandIslands, Fiji, Grenada, Guyana, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Lesotho, Macau, Malawi, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Montserrat, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, St. Vincent & Grenadines, Seychelles, Sikkim, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, St Kitts & Nevis, St. Helena, St. Lucia, Surinam, Swaziland, Tanzania, Thailand, Tonga, Trinidad & Tobago, Uganda, United Kingdom, US Virgin Islands, Venda, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

Impossible to get this organised. I think Singapore could probably change overnight. If they can get ride of flies this would be easy. But look at this list. It'll never happen. It should though.
