MK, I'm proud of your ability to spread what you have learned in the van to the larger world. You called her "creature" and she was OK with it! Gold star

I've driven in the UK, Canada & a few countries in Europe.

I think mainland Europe standard of driving is better then ours in the UK. I judge it on lane obedience - if your not overtaking move aside!!

Also in Europe we have small winding roads, often have to meet and greet oncoming cars and so i think we are much more aware of the proportions of our cars. Europeans +1

To answer the driving on the wrong side of the road argument. My point is this: 90% of the world write with their right hand. When you go to shift do you want your dominant hand on the steering wheel or on the gear shifter?

I say steering wheel as it needs varying amounts of grip and power while the gear shifter just needs to be placed in 1-6 positions..

European & driving on the left

Yeah, basically Europeans aren't fucking stupid like American douchebags who shut off traction control on public roads because they were born with a small wiener, brah. That's why they're super comfy with nude beaches.

I guess my point is, Europeans have larger penises.

On my last ED I saw this, which proves my point:

Dude. I'm reading your post and laughing as my wife looks over and goes "what the fuck is that"

gonna have to put strong emphasis on this and reqoute myself
