A contractors who clean up hazardous wastes was on our site recently. One of the employees is an exchange
student from Beijing, China. I was discussing with him automobiles in China. Most cars
in China are stick-manual shift. It made me curious how many of us know how to
drive a car with a clutch? I believe in Massachusetts one in seven cars is a manual shift
car.
When I got my driver's licensee in 1966, you had to know how to drive a manual shift car,
or no driver's licensee. The Massachusetts State Police took you out on the steepest
hill, stopped the car, shut off the engine, restart the car, and you better pray that
car does not roll backwards when you start to move forward.
This student also said in China, they drive on the same side of the road as we do.
I know Canada, France, and Mexico drives as we do. And believe
most of your countries in the Mid-East{Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia } drive on the same side of the
road as we do.
I think Japan, and of course the United Kingdom drives on the opposite side
of the road.
