Bad Car Drivers

I just read that Ireland has a problem with American 'bad car drivers' that get confused driving on the left side of the road. According to an Irish Senator, these foreign 'bad car drivers' don't know the difference between there right and left hands and are causing unnecessary accidents.

As a result they are proposing to change the side of the road that they are driving on from left to right as Sweden did in the early 1950's.

My proposal is to make it mandatory for all foreigners that are renting a car in Ireland to have their hands marked with a magic marker indicating which hand is the right one and which hand is the left one. This way they would only have to glance on their hand to remember which side of the road they should be driving their car on.

A similar solution can be imposed on some of the Caribbean islands were they also drive on the left. But of course most of the island car drivers are so bad that it does not really matter where you drive.
