    I most likely would have first touched on the “I think and it does” wondering how you manage to get it out of the driveway.

    Think it's good I do actually have a steering wheel!!

    I think Canadians drive right hand drive vehicles like us and the English don't they? If I remember rightly Canada was left hand drive but changed the side of the road they drove on around 1967. Chevy used to make their cars inter-changeable for that reason.

    I really like the shot of the framed shaft of light too. Good eye.

    Ok ...so same as the Americans? Perhaps I got it back to front? Maybe you drove on the left side of the road (centre line passes your right shoulder) inthe 60's and then changed to match the Americans? Maybe it's just crap I've believed for most of my life and isn't accurate at all??

    Photography is more than just taking a picture and freezing the action, or leaving the shutter open. It is more than orchestrating the image with the stroke of a brush. Its the realization and explanation that reality is an isolated experience in which only a specific individual can comprehend during any given time period. - Your Truly!

    Default I had to go and look...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_hand_drive

    Apparently, Canada was a mixed bag until the 1920s and Newfoundland (Canadian province) never switched over until 1947. The switch was made to better align with the US since they drove on the right-hand side. There is no really good reason though as to why particular countries picked one side or the other.
