Many people are right-handed (in the past, this meant they could ride a horse using mainly their left hand, and could more easily use their right hand to carry a sword)

Some countries used the same system

as the UK.

In Alaska, you are not

allowed to drive with

a dog on the roof.

It is illegal for women to drive

in Saudi Arabia.

You have to wear a shirt or T-shirt while driving in Thailand.

In Spain, people

who wear glasses

have to carry a

spare pair in the car.

In South Africa, you have to let animals go first.

In France, you can only reverse your car on Sundays.

Suggested order

 1 

The most strangest law is "You have to wear a shirt

or T-shirt while driving in Thailand".

It is a little crazy because if you forget to wear a shirt or a T-shirt, you can't drive It's inconvenient.

 2 In Spain, people wearing glasses have to carry a spare pair in the car It is a little strange.

 3 The law "In South Africa, you have to let animals go first" is strange It's because animals are the

first priority, not humans.

 4 It's illegal for women to drive in Saudi Arabia It's strange and unfair for women.

 5  In Alaska, you are not allowed to drive with a dog on the roof I think it's good because it's safe for

the humans and the dogs.

4 Now, work in groups Discuss the laws and put them in

order from the strangest (N°1) to the least strange (N°5).

4 Now, work in groups Discuss the laws and put

them in order from the strangest (N°1) to the least strange (N°5).

Are there strange rules in Vietnam?

I think there are no strange traffic rules

in Vietnam because every law is discussed very carefully before issuing and is amended after every five years.

Yes, through the lesson we can now know the reason why some countries drive on the left and some strange driving laws in the world.
