Margaret Thatcher came to power a few months before 1980.

I don't think it's every going to happen - the cost of changing all the
motorway exits to entrances and vice-versa is bad enough, but the chaos
and loss of life leading from a situation in which millions of motorists
have to drive on what they intuitively consider to be the 'wrong' side
of the road would be prohibitive. It would be slaughter out there.
