Who picked out the above photo. Not only is it not Southern Utah but it not even in the U.S. Notice the drivers are on the wrong side of the road and the drivers are behind the steering wheel on the right side of the interior of the car. Great Britain maybe.
Well, 07ab – when you’re right, you’re right. We’ll call this a “one appearance only” featured image. We have enough accidents without people driving on the wrong side of the road, don’t we?!
Thanks for the morning laugh (at ourselves). Ridiculous.
