    I agree with fully adopting metric, but what budget benefit would driving on the right bring?

      I can’t think of much. Changing isn’t unprecedented, but you’re also far from alone driving on the left. Off the top of my head: the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, much of Southern Africa…

      Places that have changed within the last 100 years: Sweden, Newfoundland, the rest of Canada ('cept Ontario and Quebec) switched just over 100 years ago.
