I seem to remember that the official changeover took place at something like
3.00am as it was reasoned that there wouldn't be many vehicles on the roads
at that time.... the reality was that just about everybody with a vehicle
was on the road so that they could change sides at the designated
time.......

That puts it in perspective - it's not April the first is it? :)
