Wednesday, February 15, 2006 DRIVING ON THE LEFT

Please note the Council has decreed that henceforth all motor vehicles, commercial lorries, motorbikes, sidecars, bicycles, etc. etc. must drive on the LEFT, this will bring us into line with Great Britain and Australasia.

All vehicles of any nature, excepting motorbikes, sidecars, bicycles, must be adapted for left handed driving.

It is NOT acceptable to simply sit on left passenger seat and just lean over and pretend to be on the right.

Please note grants are available for adaptions of this purpose. As we currently have the highest proportion of traffic lights per head of population, ie 1 set to 38 people. We are applying for a grant to cover the cost of moving the lights.

Finally, if the three of you that actually have a vehicle of any sort on the PI's will attend an advance motoring course in the Council Offices on monday next at 10am.

The course, will contain a multiple choice range of questions, then a practical covering starting, moving and stopping. No longer will ramming it into a hedgerow be acceptable.
