Anyways, what happened was they basically had a minder escort us through our equivalent of the DMV. Sort of like our group (there were around five or so of us getting our license that day as well) were VIPs or something. When the time came to take the test, I had to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Why? The pages of the booklet with the questions had a piece of clear plastic on top of them - and on that piece of plastic, the right answers were marked. Yes, the "assistance" included a cheat sheet. No wonder I didn't have any problem with it. | |

| I always thought it would be an incredibly weird experience to drive on the opposite side of the road to which you were accustomed.

| Reminds me of a funny vision I've had most my life & I still can't quite envision how they did this but Sweden drove on the left side of the road until 1972 (I think) but Norway has always driven on the right side of the road.... I'm just wondering what happened on the border between our two countries... :-)

There is actually one country where they drive on both sides of the road (depending on the part of the country) China. you see, the mainland is all right hand side, and Hong Kong (which is now part of china) drives on the left).
