Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

That video is funny, Fogfighter, but I'm sure dealing with the traffic jams at the beginning was very difficult. It's one thing to drive down a straight road, but turns, circles (aka roundabouts), and emergency situations requiring fast thinking probably led to some bad accidents.

Indeed it must have caused a lot of confusion in the beginning but seems to have turned out mostly well. I'm too young to remember the whole thing but there were many bumper stickers for the event left afterwards. With H as in höger/right.

Would be pretty impossible to do nearly 60 years later, given the rise in population, car ownership, motorways/freeways...
