 </span></blockquote>That &quot;Keep Right&quot; sign in Iceland reminds me of the problems I had <br/>
driving there. On the hundreds of miles of dirt roads they don&#39;t so <br/>
much drive on the right as pass on the right - you generally steam <br/>
along the median until you sight something coming in the other <br/>
direction, or approach a blind summit.<br/>
On some of the country roads, you don&#39;t meet oncoming traffic for <br/>
minutes on end - long enough for me to forget where I was, so that at <br/>
first sight of an oncoming, my Brit reflexes would kick in, and I&#39;d <br/>
haul over to the left, just as the other driver pulled right. Then <br/>
I&#39;d realise my mistake and pull right; just as he wondered what the <br/>
hell I was doing and yanked to the left. And so on.<br/>
