Completely offtopic (but OK cause I started the topic ) I have an interesting fact for settling disputes RE choosing the correct side of the road.

Vanuatu was originally colonised by both the French (right side of road) and the English (left side). They decided after some chaos to settle the side of the road issue by settling it based on where the next "carriage" in the colony arrived from. The carriage was actually delivered to a French church minister and thus they drive on the right hand side of the road, and now resides in the local museum. I gotta tell you drive a manual (stick shift) is rather difficult with the other hand.
