EURIKA!!! Is it possible that there are many more shopping carts like this out there in Singapore? And MAYBE a high percentage of Singaporeans spent their formative years DRIVING these errant shopping carts. And maybe, as a result of this prolonged exposure to four wheeled contraptions that would not hold their course, they slowly began to DRIVE ALL OVER THE ROAD AS A RESULT???

EURIKA!!! SMS - you are a genius! i suggest a full blown trial with control groups.

And to think of all the forum column inches trying to figure out why they drive the way they do. And I just stumbled across it.

A full blown trial with control groups is out of the question as you have to have a non-affected group to act as the controls. It's too late for that as now they are genetically disposed that way just like their myopic eyesight.

Apologies to WIMH, Locallass, uncle_james and any other regulars of the local persuasion.

I'd rather not be able to drive because I can't see out of my slant eyes than because I can't see past my big nose.

This is true. Singapore is not the exception -- I think the US is. It's just once you've trained on one type, you have to relearn cart-driving to keep your self in control...

Good news is that now I can drive a shopping cart anywhere

(...wait, that's not good news...)
