EU Directive on Traffic in UK - Ben 10

A report from the EU group that decides European Traffic Regulation throughout the EU has been leaked, which states that the UK "MUST" change from left to right driving by 2020. 1st. of January to be exact. Just like the Swedes did in the 60s. This gives enough time to have steering amended on present vehicles. New ones will already come left hand drive. All signs, markings will be moved two weeks running up to change over. Bl***y EU!!!!!! Traffic Regulation passed 2011- 1/16/18/9/12-6/15/15/12DOH

EU Directive on Traffic in UK - Ethan Edwards

I heard they wer phasing it in slowly to allow people to become used to it.

1st January is only for HGV's to drive on the right, 1st April Cars join them driving on the right and the 1st July all other vehicles.

Nice one!
