Driving on the right hand side / W H Robinson
A difficulty which confronts the British motorist abroad is driving on the right hand side of the road. To master this takes a little practice with mirrors and sitting the wrong way around on the car seat.

Abroad Difficulty Driving Foreign Heath Humor Mirrors Motorist Practice Robinson Seat Touring Wrong Will I Am
A British Motorist's Challenge - Mastering the Art of Driving on the Right Side
EDITORS COMMENTS
Description: This vintage photograph, taken by W.H. Robinson, captures the humorous and slightly disconcerting experience of a British motorist attempting to acclimate to driving on the right-hand side of the road while touring abroad. The image showcases a man, likely the photographer himself, sitting awkwardly in the driver's seat with his back facing the opposite direction of where one would typically sit in the United Kingdom. He is adjusting his mirrors with a thoughtful expression, indicating that this is not his first time encountering this unfamiliar situation. The scene takes place on a picturesque country road, surrounded by lush greenery and the rolling hills of the English countryside, which serves as a stark contrast to the foreign landscape that lies ahead. The difficulty of driving on the right-hand side of the road is a common challenge for British motorists when traveling abroad, requiring a certain level of practice and adaptation. The photograph, taken in the early 20th century, is a testament to the historical significance of automobiles and the role they played in enabling people to explore new places and cultures. It also highlights the sense of adventure and the spirit of overcoming challenges that comes with touring, even when faced with seemingly minor inconveniences like driving on the "wrong" side of the road.
