The ministry has allocated 10.2 billion in research and development of the idea. It was found that driving on the left will improve safety and keep traffic moving much more efficiently. Thus, creating less gridlock , which in turn is good for our environment. " It's a win win for us all" , the transport minister tweeted. The new law would require vehicles have there steering wheels moved to the right side of the vehicle. A technical analyst for the Ontario government said "it will be a simple conversion , that shouldn't cost more the $ 350.00" . The Ontario government said it was willing to pay for half of the conversion. The premier of Ontario was also excited to hear about the changes . She noted that with the changes to road signage , and the modifications to automobiles it would be a huge boost for our economy. She posted on Facebook " Ontario is changing lanes " It was advised by a technical analyst to simplify the transition to driving on the left. That it be implemented slowly. It was suggested that only trucks drive on the left for the first month. Then all traffic use the left starting July 01. The final drafts of the legislation will be on the Ontario website , available April fools. A little side note. An article similar to this was in our local paper a long time ago. As I was reading it , I was getting more and more angry. It seemed believable to me considering all the silly things the government here thinks up. Wishing you all a Happy Easter . 3 Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52985-ontario-to-start-driving-on-the-left/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Mack Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 The funny thing is..... Canada used to drive on the left, it followed British colonial rules, switched over to the right on Jan 1st 1922 http://www.vancouversun.com/life/week+history+switching+from+left+right+thing/11625241/story.html can you imagine the lane switching at the border crossings today if we hadn't changed..!!!
