Quiz 7 - Which European countries drive on the left?

[Pauline]

I am still working on Ian's quiz from last week, so thought I would set a relatively easy one for this week.

Two thirds of the world drive on the right. Boats and airplanes drive/fly on the right. But four countries in Europe drive on the left. Which countries are they?

Spoiler: Name the four European countries that drive on the left.

United Kingdom, Ireland, Malta, Cyprus

Don't post the answer below. The answer is above, under the spoiler button. Post below to tell us how many you guessed. Good luck!

Hint: The obvious answer, the United Kingdom, is one country (you can't count England, Wales, Scotland, etc. separately).

Good quiz Pauline!
I got three right and one wrong. Will share the one wrong later.

Aha. Here's a technical quirk (maybe nothing you can do about it): I use Netvibes to provide an aggregated dashboard display of assorted RSS feeds - and it reads and displays the spoiler content!

Bingo 4 for 4
The first three were easy and I said them in that order, the fourth I had to think about and then look at a map.

The 4th was the one I got wrong, rocky thinking on my part

 

[Pauline]

Yes, the 4th is the less obvious one. @Steve didn't get it either when I made him do the quiz.

Why isn't the rocky one counted? Is it not a country but a UK Territory? (I got my quiz answers from Wikipedia.)

 

[Ian Sutton]

That must be the reason

Because they don't drive on the left (think about it, there's barely room for a changeover lane at the border).

Of course!!!!!!! Duh . . .
