Even the highway traffic was surprisingly sparse. Not that I was disappointed about that, of course

Fond memories of a trip I took with an American friend some years back, taking him out to see some of the coastal sights one midweek day.
Rick was doing his share of driving when we arrived at the coastal flat country, and shortly after we'd turned into a lengthy and almost deserted stretch of road a car driver drove past honking furiously on the horn of his vehicle. Rick was looking rather puzzled as he remarked to me:
"What's with that guy? There's plenty of room to pass, and he's not even pulling back in!"
The look on his face was proceless when I casually remarked in reply:
"Mate! You've been driving down the wrong side of the road ever since we turned off at the intersection ten miles back. I was waiting to see if you'd work it out before a car came along and tried to run us over!"
