    • This is one of the most elegant and serious fun collections I have seen in a long time. Elvis never failed to make me laugh. #24 is incredible.
      • Agree! Also I admire the Swedish very much from #12. Such a big courage to change the driving side!
        • I was reading the ‘Dagen H’ story. What struck me the most is the fact that, most Swedes drove left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles before the ‘H’ day. Can you imagine that?

          This of course led to more head-on collisions due to bad visibility to upcoming traffic. No wonder they had to make the changes.

          Other countries with left-hand traffic, like Britain, Japan, I guess they don’t have this urgency to change because they drive RHD (right-hand drive) vehicle.
           

          • Good to know this! I remember that there were quite some imported vehicles from Hong Kong and Japan long time ago, in China. Those were RHD.
            • I wonder how many of those are still on the road if not already switched to LHD.
