Default Terminator on the wrong side of the road

QUOTE:
"Arnold Schwarzenegger has been spotted cycling in Edinburgh on the wrong side of the road headlong into oncoming traffic.

The driver of the number 36 bus must have had the shock of his life when he saw the action hero pedalling towards him on the wrong side of the road.

However, the 68-year-old Terminator star wasn't doing his own stunts for a movie, he simply appears to have forgotten that we drive - and cycle - on the left in the UK."

Lots of cyclists do that, he was just copying what he sees. You come
from Hull, you may have seen it locally:

Easily done.

I've pulled out of a filling station onto an empty road in rural Germany
and driven a few tens of yards on the left before realising my error.

Less easy in the USA because of LHD hire cars.

I do not think that this is news. It happens all over the country - every day
with cyclists.
