Are you honestly insinuating that any country could pass a law that forces another country to change something which isn't hurting anyone? Forgive me for bursting your bubble, but "we" (presumably you're talking about the US) cannot pass a law effecting another country that supersedes the laws of that country. The US isn't internationally sovereign, thankfully.
Also, how could you have automobiles driving on one side of the road and lorries, buses and motorcycles driving on the other side for two whole weeks? The lorries and buses would crash into the cars because they're each travelling in opposite directions on the same road! That pilot test would result in madness on the roads.
Why would it matter anyway? Why not let some countries do things differently? What is the problem with that?
I only intended this in a humorous way, but you do raise some interestimg points.
Firstly, with existing laws that keep traffic on the same side of the road, there is still madness in many places.
Secondly, the US has and continues to pass laws that does affect (please notice the 'a') other countries laws and effectually does supercede that country's laws. Many people have been arrested and extradited to the US for violations of these laws, even if they have not broken any laws in their home country, and sometimes have never set foot in US territory. Team America, World Police.
Do the British STILL drive on the wrong side just to be contrary?
