Only Picard. He's kinda a teaboo, hence the accent despite living outside LA.

Is this okay to use for non teaboos?

But Picard is a Frenchman speaking with a British accent.
Following the definition, that sounds pretty teaboo to me ;-)

Nope, legit question. Asking when not getting something is good practice.
You're good :-)

It's relative to Captain Picard, so it might just be France that adopted left-hand traffic. They got the English accent, they may have gotten their way of driving too.
