Hard to tell which was “retrofitted” in the image. Looks to be in a bit of a state in both photos.

So British farmers are driving around in “technicals”. If this doesn’t worry TPTB, it should.

Do their fuel tanks get checked to make sure that they are using the right sort of diesel ?

Just shows what tosspottery the cunts at the MOD will come out with.

Not so good for the feller sitting in the passenger seat.

The story does mention that it’s a dummy in the passenger seat

In a sane world we’d all drive on the left in the Northern Hemisphere and on the right in the Southern. Otherwise cars passing in opposite directions are prone to stimulate tornados.

Of course the *passenger* doesn’t come out so hot in this . . .
Bloke in the Fourth Reich
I knew a bloke imported his UK car to the Reich. Speeding tickets (back in the day most of us treated these as just another occasional tax on motoring because there were zero license consequences unless you were being a complete idiot) always got sent to his wife when she was in the passenger seat, and they strung the process out long enough for the offence to be out of time.
“Oi, Miss, you were speeding”
“No I wasn’t”
“Yes you were we have a pic”
“No I wasn’t, my husband was driving”
“Bull, look at the pic!”
“Yes, see?”
“But he can’t be driving!”
“Yes he can. It’s a RHD. Now sod off and bother him!”
“Oh no we missed the 3-month deadline!”
Rinse and repeat.

Got pulled in 2000 in Romanian countryside in dead of night in our RHD car. I get out to speak to the police. They ask me for the driver’s licence. I get my licence. They get confused and ask again. I get confused so plod asks my wife for her licence. Why? She says, pointing to the absence of a steering wheel. Plod 2 PIML by their car.
Glad to hear the benefits of RHD are felt further afield.
