Driving On The Wrong Side Of The Road

[@lukaszlewicki5838]

Funny that I'm following you since I moved to Australia and now you are making videos from my country!

[@MrSkeeter18]

We have had drivers in the passenger side of our cars, it’s called a wife!

[@MrTimstaaa]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@chrisgear3724]

All you have to remember is keep the steering wheel closest to the middle of the road.

[@albertoportas5976]

You remain me... I have a lj78 land cruiser right hand drive but I'm in Canada so here we drive at left hand so is even more funny especially when im going with my wife slipping at passenger side, so people think that the driver is slipping. Actually one time a police pulled me over because my wife was talking by phone and when he saw was a passenger he just say " sorry just rutine checking continue please" 🤣

[@greebo7857]

Tractors are allowed on the road in Oz too.

[@cb2000a]

YOU broke a six pack! The local police are now looking for you mate.

[@georgenew9259]

Come to America. We drive on the wrong side of the road, Speed and play with our cellphones while driving.

[@gerretoutdoors3710]

I drive with my knees. And eat cereal while driving. Lvl 99 driving.

[@georgenew9259]

Prolly safer than cell phone driving

[@cb2000a]

And read books...

[@szumico]

I am so glad that you show my beautiful Poland. Greetings from Townsville!

[@msr358]

Really interesting to see a real-person view of another culture and country, rather than the sanitised, prepackaged versions from Tourist companies etc. I like it!

[@keithhaycraft3765]

The biggest problem I can see is if you start driving by habit, another is during a high stress moment. Instinct may cause you to drive on the wrong side of the road, thereby exascerbating your danger.

[@paintandpinotinperth7868]

I’m afraid in WA we have some of the slowest speed limits on the planet and it still doesn’t the stop some horrendous accidents. Speed isn’t the killer, bad drivers are. In Europe there’s much higher standards on the road despite the higher speeds. Loving this mini series Michael 😍🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎨🍷

[@rogerbarker165]

Mate, the best advise I can give you is; when you come to an intersection where you want to turn right, say to yourself "righty tighty, lefty loosey". Then turn 'tight' onto the road as you make your right turn. The opposite applies to the left turn. That is, turn loose onto the other (left) side of the road. This was the way we survived adventuresome driving in the States and Canada a few years ago. Great vid. Cheers

[@old4wds_aus]

That is some stunning country side!!! Great to be seeing your videos from Poland!

[@maxflight777]

The sad thing about Australia is the police are very aggressive an speed limits are arguably too slow.

[@Equiluxe1]

Strange that they label everything in English in Poland, there are polish run shops in England where everything is in Polish.

[@juanjulia4310]

Im from Argentina, all my life i've been driving in the right side of the road.. next month im moving to Victoria, Aus to seek adventure haha..

[@merro27]

I'm from Oz. I drove 15000 miles over 6 months in the US many years ago. Funny thing is my brain has converted my memories of that trip so I am driving a RHD vehicle on the left side of the road.

[@DavidVoxDem]

I got a right side drive '04 3.0 Dmax in a left side drive country, I find it a lot more reasonable knowing how close you are to the curb and the cars parked all over the street rather than the middle of the road

[@only-vans]

tractors everywhere in UK during harvest season, pedestrians always have right of way, horses have right of way over anything. ..and we drive on the left, steering wheel is on the right. ..and get this, in Malta they drive in the shade :-) ....always keep your eyes on the road

[@809klglklgl]

Gotta hand it to for driving on the wrong side of the road, I don’t think I could do it. Cheers from Australia.

[@markhrabe]

We had some Aussies get in a head on collision here in California last October. I believe they were confused about the road position.

[@Douginont]

You're a funny guy, I get a chuckle at some of the things you do. Canada, I do 10 kph over driving a tractor trailer, not a penny over going thru communities. In my pickup, Ram 1500 with a hemi, 20 kph over, it's the norm. I'd love to punch it and see what it could really do but 50 kph over, your license is gone and vehicle seized for seven days.

[@Todhwart]

Looool ... i can understand you in so much ways.. when we go to UK for Holidays i ever say the same to me .. drive left - drive left - ... 🤣🤣

[@dylanlastname1461]

I failed adventure once... I was walking down the road and i tripped over

[@GorsuchCody]

If you get new decals made you should do diecut style. I feel like those are preferred for most people and I would deff buy some over here from the US!

[@pasquariello72]

Man try going through a round about. I just can’t get my bearings to make it work opposite. Looks like a neat little place where your staying, you thrown a line in that stream in your backyard.

Yep roundabouts are the hardest.

[@tamtam19454]

Saw the title and though you were driving on Indian Ocean Drive haha.

[@greebo7857]

1:32 Driving with your lights on is a bloody good idea. I always do, from my little Ford, up through my Land Rovers and further up to the B-Double trucks I used to drive. I did it on the major highways here in Oz, on bush tracks, and on the inland roads in the Double where you may not see a car for hours. The sooner someone sees you the safer they, and you, are. It's a no brainer, and it should be law everywhere, not just Europe.

[@DarkBykeTwitch]

It's law in North America, always has been.

[@kaibailey2295]

Im thinking to get a bt50 and i would like to know what to put on it and what to do to it you should make a video on your bt50 like suspension, tyres, any engine mods

[@offtrackfamily]

Hi! Same difficulty for us when we drove a right hand rental car in Australia because in Switzerland we drive at right with left hand cars. But the worst is when we are driving in UK with our left hand car:-D

[@robertmatysiak980]

Thanks for the driving tips in Poland Mike. I'll try to remember what to do when I go over there. Or maybe I'll just get the relo's to drive me around, lol.

[@dennispenascoza1790]

I can relate to that experience mate. First time driving here in Australia about 30yrs ago coming from the Philippines (left hand drive), my step father teaching me how to drive here. Nearly had a head on with another car, you should see his face it was gold!!!!😁😁😁

[@Josse702]

I was in Australia and driving my rental was so strange. I kept hitting the wind shield wipers with my left hand without thought. The way I fixed my habit was to only have my right hand on the steering wheel to use the turn signal which is on the right side of the steering wheel.

[@tutekohe1361]

Thats very attractive countryside, Michael. I hope you show us more of the country.

[@ewengillies9826]

They drive with lights on because they're not used to good old West Aussie sunshine. Bushyboy Oz.

[@MiniLuv-1984]

What a beautiful place. Driving on the right seems so natural when I get to Europe, the brain just flips and I wonder how I drive on the left in Australia, then when I'm here, I wonder how I drive on the right. I think when I start to see people driving on the right, the brain flip occurs.

[@noelsharpe5970]

This episode gave me Flashbacks of when I first moved to Norway from Australia. Drive to the shops alone then jump in the passenger side, OK no steering wheel here.

[@Brendon1oz]

Im amazed that you did some drone video as well ..im picturing that you turned the controller upside down to allow for our down under piloting skills....lol....

[@SunshineAndBass]

The best way of driving anywhere in the world, left or right hand, is to keep in mind that the driver must keep the outer side of the road. Passengers always ride in the car on the side of the pavement, while drivers must go on the outer side of the road, along the white line. In double/triple lanes roads, just keep your passengers next to the pavement side, on the first lane.

[@atx1459]

I feel you pain about driving a vehicle on the "wrong side of the road" after visiting Australia and New Zealand from the States.

[@italianplastick4031]

Shout out from Australia 🇦🇺🤙

[@oldbloke100]

looks like a very nice place. How are you going mate, we miss your excellent video's

[@raxlife8791]

from a kiwi living in Perth thanks - great as always. how do you set your drone for the arial car shots? Is it tracking the car or is someone controlling it?

[@peterbryan3295]

That was cool to see abit of poland.cheers Michael.

[@lvlndco]

Hopefully you can get out into some of that beautiful countryside and seek some more adventure there!

[@AverageReviewsYT]

Did he just open a pack of drinks and take one? Lol. That's a no no here in the states...if they're packed together they're sold as a pack

[@mjee3131]

You need to hit that river in the back of the house. It's gotta be great fishing!

[@philiqp3]

that's better to park a bit further the sidewalk than too close (right into it) as i did for my firt drive in Australia... the rim still remember (:

[@maciejnowak9536]

In Poland it is suspicious if you drive straight with your car (you are too drunk to avoid holes in the road) and if you drive according to speed limits it means that you have a malfunctioning car :)

[@derekjarman1638]

That's how I felt the first time I drove in Australia!

[@HammerRocks]

4:30 I hate to break it to you, but in Australia, pedestrians also have the right of way. Or is it different in WA?

[@tgfcujhb7583]

Only if your turning or there is a zebra crossing

[@2adventure_oz921]

Haha, roundabouts are weird. A lot more natural than you think though. Surprisingly easy. Have fun!

[@bobjarrard]

Sorry to hear about the passing of your beer fridge. Did it have a name? I lost a beer fridge many years ago, fell off the back of my truck on the way to a bit of a holiday in what we call the bush (the beach in Mexico). Someone got not only a nice fridge but also 12 cases of beer! Now as to scones, why not just call them scones as you do in your video on the topic? I thought biscuits where like kinda hard chewy things (is that what Kiwis call Anza Rocks?) but here is my poor source on cookies v biscuits vs scones from Google: "If you happen to be in the U.S., then read “cookies” for “biscuits” here, but in the Commonwealth countries of the world, and India for sure we still like to call them biscuits even though I’m slowly seeing cookies taking over." So be it mate, it gets worse with crocs vs alligators and other strange stuff. By the way, the drone vids of Poland are great, very pretty place. Bit unsure why they need this expense below but the US can use the trade dollars (6.53 billion worth): "Buying a fifth-generation fighter is expensive and includes an abundance of training, infrastructure, and maintenance costs beyond the aircraft themselves. Right now, an F-35A, the Air Force version of the Joint Strike Fighter, costs just under $90 million each. For comparison purposes, in January 2018, the Pentagon estimated the sale of 34 F-35s to Belgium at $6.53 billion when all associated costs are factored in. Poland already flies 48 Lockheed-made F-16 fighters. Now that would buy some serious quantities of beer for the mates. Bob Jarrard (font went red by itself - must be out of text limit)

[@marceld6061]

Try saying this to yourself " Right is right. Left is wrong" at every intersection/ turn/ exit from a parking lot. I reversed that for my Oz trips and it worked like a charm for me. Headlights ON = SAFE. We have daytime running lights in Canada. They come on automatically. Still better to have your lights on because it will illuminate your tail lamps too. Pedestrians have the right of way here too.

[@bobjarrard]

This really is a great VLOG and deserves more attention and viewership. I have viewed almost all of the older posts and had a great adventure doing so! Thanks so much for all the effort and the high quality of your works.

[@Frombie_01]

Bob, I'm not too sure we could let him go and spend time with a man that rides a horse in what looks like yellow tartan pants, mate.

[@bobjarrard]

@@Frombie_01 Horse died, still have the pants but do not ride in re-enactments anymore. I will repent of my errors. Will buy a surplus Polish Army tent and sleep outdoors for a month and learn to call cookies biscuits and on top of that, will start driving on the left - I straddle the line already. Bob

[@Frombie_01]

Bob, sorry to hear about your horse, mate. My sincere condolences. I understand what it's like losing a loved one, my beer fridge died last April. P.S. Also try to remember, what you call biscuits are scones. Cheers, mate.

[@ukaszkarpik3476]

Greetings from Poland!

[@johnfitzgerald5158]

Try St. Croix US Virgin Islands. Left side drive cars, but driven on the left side. I believe as result of previous colonial control. It was originally Dutch and then British before US. I assume driving on the left side of the road was picked up by the British, but left hand side cars are more readily available in this hemisphere.

[@johnfitzgerald5158]

In the USA, if we were driving on the wrong side of the road...it would be called something other than the "right" side.

[@xpost9381]

You drive with lights on all day for esaier beeing seen. Europe have a much more varied/changeable weather than Australia. It can be heavy rain, fog, snowstorm and so on. When driving against a low sun the use of light in the oncoming traffic makes it easier to spot them.

[@kuraqueen6593]

That was nerve-wracking, my hands and feet were sweating and shaking with the sheer terror of it. Normally, I don't worry about driving on the other side of the road, but because you do not do that normally, it felt like a big deal. No doubt practice makes perfect.

Most weird is that in Europe we give way also from right side, like in Australia, or GB! That is true reason, that driving on the rght side of the road is wrong, in this condition.
