<VV> was ballast --no corvair--talk

[Chuck Kubin]

The British habit of driving on the right (orientation, not justification) side of the road is patterned after the Lucas ignition system. This explains why they both work, but only for the Brits and no on else can figure it out.

Their "kerb side" would be our driver's (their passenger) side, etc.
I much prefer using left & right from the driver's point of view. Less
ambiguity for those who aren't dislexic. I've always wondered.... Did
the British convention come from a dislexic driver?

Remember that when driving in the former British Empire (most of it
other than N. America anyway), left is right and right is wrong. ;-)
