Driving On The Right

[Flure]

On Sunday, 3rd September 1967, Sweden changed from driving on the left to driving on the right. This is what happened.

That photo is misleading. That's from Kungsgatan in Stockholm (think Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow) and there was a driving ban that day to give workers time to rip off the stickers that were hiding the new road signs. This photo was taken during the driving ban and that's why people are walking in the road.

Search for "Dagen H" for more info.

FFS - stop letting the facts get in the way of a good story.

That could be any street close to a football ground 5 minutes after the final whistle.

Or Ibrox, 5 mins before the final whistle.
