Earlier this week, L was talking to a Turkish friend about driving in Turkey. L explained that one of the difficulties we would have about driving here would be that we are used to driving on the left but in Turkey, people drive on the right.
At which point, L's friend interjected to say that in Turkey, you drive on the left. Now, Istanbul driving is best understood as a cross between the daunting intensity of London driving combined with the anarchy of Bradford driving, but even so, L was fairly confident that people drive on the right here.
Both L and his friend were correct. But how?
I'll leave you to think about it for a few days (answers on a postcard please) and will edit this post next week to provide the explanation, though I'm sure you can probably work it out for yourselves!
Edited 11/09/2016:
I'm sure you figured it out, but just in case you wanted confirmation, Turkish people talk about which side of the car the driver's seat is on, while we talk about sides of roads. A perfect example of cross-cultural miscommunication!
