Can you fix the steering wheel It already drives on the correct side of the road! Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Can you fix the steering wheel The correct side for the UK, Australia, Japan and possibly New Zealand only I think. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Can you fix the steering wheel Vic, they cant afford cars in New Zealand. They only have skate boards and they ride them on the footpaths (sidewalks for our American viewers). EDIT: and they skate on any side they want. |

Can you fix the steering wheel We went through this a few months ago. Someone found a rather extensive list of countries where they drive on the left, the silly gits. Vic, they cant afford cars in New Zealand. They only have skate boards and they ride them on the footpaths (sidewalks for our American viewers). Good to know. Footpath has a subtly different connotation here. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Can you fix the steering wheel Basically, a sidewalk is almost always concrete (old ones, or new ones made to look old, can be brick) and runs alongside a roadway, or leads from a roadway or other place where vehicles are operated or parked to the door of a building (the latter type can also be stone). Anything other than that is a footpath, whether it's a dirt trail through the woods or a gravel or asphalt trail on what used to be a railroad right of way (these are usually intended for riding bikes and horses as well). There is some overlap in the case of one going across a park, or university campus, or something of that sort, and not alongside a roadway but still constructed of concrete. At least that's how it is in my mind. But then, I'm the one who ruled that spiders are bugs.

We make it easy here, any man made hard surface for walking on is called a footpath while anything else is considered a walking track. Cheers. |

Up here a footpath is any thing you walk on that needs shoveling in the winter time. |

You'd have to be more specific about that, a lot of things aren't working right... Posting replies to threads with quotes arent working for me. |
