If You Live In The U.S.A.

here is one thing you are pretty much guaranteed never to see,

a UPS truck making a left-hand turn, you may not of noticed it but back in 2004 UPS announced a new policy for its drivers: the right way to get to any destination was to avoid left-hand turns, UPS engineers found that left-hand turns were a major drag on efficiency, turning against traffic resulted in long waits in left-hand turn lanes that wasted time and fuel, and it also led to a disproportionate number of accidents,

by mapping out routes that involved 'a series of right-hand loops,' UPS improved profits and safety while touting their catchy, environmentally friendly policy, now here is the good bit, of 2012 the right turn rule combined with other improvements saved around 10 million gallons of gas and reduced emissions by the equivalent of taking 5,300 cars of the road for a year,

now I wonder if this system which has made such huge savings would work for instance in the UK? or indeed has any other major trucking company used the same formula for their transport division as UPS?
