    This is a crazy idea but apparently it has been done before,I think it was Sweden back in the 50s they just picked a day and time and decided to switch.Could you imagine that happening here...:)

    I'd say in the 50's though there was an awful lot less traffic! Imagine the carnage for until people got used to it.

    This would cause chaos... in its first week it would cause the lives of more than in the last couple of years...years on the seat belt is still not worn nor mobile out of the hand, if we can't do these simple things, there's no chance of this happening...we're not like the germans, efficiency is not one of our inherent traits...

    This coming from a member from a party that demands you vote yes to Lisbon.

    This just one of the many unworkable, and nonsensical ideas that will happen, if we're forced to give up our sovereignty by doing what FF/FG and co insist we do. They want everyone to be the same in Europe, so in this instance, we'll have to cater for the customs of our immigrants, instead of the other way around.

    Whether you like it or not we surrendered our sovereignty to Europe a long time ago...in another era it was called taking the King's shilling..
