Some early drivers preferred to see where they were with respect to the edge of the road. See http://www.lostinthepond.com/2013/03/fact-american-steering-wheels-havent.html |

As for the date ? i think it was filmed yesterday, the potholes are all still there... |

Come over to the northeast for real potholes. |
