UPS now the opposite of NASCAR

NASCAR is famous for their left-hand turns.

UPS is focusing on right-hand turns-- to save time and money.

From World...

...computer mapping software and traffic modeling has led them to conclude that delivery drivers should avoid making left turns...[since they] waste time and gas idling while waiting for left-hand turn signals...By mapping out routes that aim for only right-hand turns, the company saved 3.3 million gallons of gasoline [and $9 million] in 2007.
