| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

Hey, Do Canadians drive on the right side or the wrong side of the road?

2quilt, you would be surprised how many American tourists come to our island (Newfoundland) expecting not only igloos and sled dogs, but even asking if we speak English! Do Americans not take Geography in school? I have often wondered...
And we drive on the same side of the road as you do.

Oh dear I meant to include this icon in my last post: :tongue: Re-reading without the :tongue: makes it sound as if I was annoyed, which I was definitely not. Ah, the problems with the written word!
In any event, I came back on here to report that in spite of having treatments tomorrow, Evie drove in the city today! It is the first time she has driven in a "real" city. Jim telephoned specially to tell me about it. She did very well. She is forever surprising us! |

Good for her!
And just like it is not common knowledge for us to know you speak English, live in something other than an igloo, or the right side from the wrong side of the road... it is apparently not know that geography is when American teenagers get there beauty sleep ;) |

Oh, that's great to hear that Evie's been driving in the city! Cool for her!
Haha, now I'm going to be a smug native Detroiter - I've gone back and forth over the border more times than I can remember, so I've always known Canadians drive on the right side of the road  . The main trick, imo, is to get used to watching the kilometers per hour reading on the speedometer instead of the miles per hour, otherwise a U.S. driver can get into trouble speeding very easily. |

HAHAHAHA,
I have miles per hour in my truck so I'm used to conversion! LMAO.. however, since I'm originally from a border town I still use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius! How screwed up is that?

That would be something like people thinking they get off a plane in Australia and see Kangaroo's, or they hop through the cities.... go figure ha? Funny though. |
