Actually more interesting than I expected. Thanks for the link, Pete.

I hear that when the Swedes were planning to switch in 1967 they wanted a trial period. The plan was that on change-over day all the cars would switch to the other side of the road; and if that was successful after a day then the trunks would also switch over.
