In neither of the countries in my example do you need a license to use
the roads. In the UK, you may drive a car on the roads without having
taken any exam, under supervision. I don't know if this is the case in
France (though I suspect it is), but you can certainly ride a bicycle
on the road with neither a license nor supervision.

That aside, I don't see why the necessity of a license to drive a car
invalidates my analogy any more than the fact that the internet doesn't
have wing mirrors does.

Also, top-posting on a list that favours bottom posting is an awful lot
less likely to kill you than driving on the wrong side is. And it's
probably not illegal, either.
