In a message dated 11/19/2004 3:57:39 PM Eastern Standard Time,  
ryoung@navcomtech.com relayed a story, the moral of which was:

"Always  check whether a car is left or right hand drive before 
breathalysing the  guy in the right hand seat" 
 
Reminds me of a somewhat similar story told me years ago. A friend of mine  
and his wife (both, at the time, employees of the local BLMC dealer's parts  
department) were out driving one night in their MGB, somewhere on the rural  
mountain roads near their house in upstate New York. At one point they were  
pulled over by a local sheriff's deputy patrol.
 
The deputy got out of his car and approached the LH side, and he asked the  
woman  occupying that seat for her license and registration, etc. She  obliged. 
The deputy, in turn, was good enough to lend the beam from his  flashlight to 
illuminate the glovebox in front of her so she could locate the  registration 
slip.
 
Oh, did I neglect to mention that this was a right-hand drive MGB?
 
As I recall the story, the deputy was apparently far too embarrassed or  
proud or whatever to call any attention to the mistake he'd made,  and he 
eventually sent the couple on their way sans ticket....
