I came searching for the question what should a North American driver know when driving in Europe for the first time, and the following question:

What should someone from the US know when driving in Italy?

It was marked as duplicate to the then-titled "What are the main differences in traffic regulations between the US/Europe?", to which the questions asks and the answers recount what a European should know when driving in the United States, which is the reverse.

As a result, my question has been asked but marked as a duplicate with the answer of exactly the reverse of what I wanted to know.

Should the duplicate flag be removed?

  • We have a system for this. It's the reopen flag. Add a comment about why it's not a duplicate, and vote to reopen. Unfortunately sometimes people make mistakes.

  • @MarkMayo how do you actually do that? I've never been able to find that button

  • @J.Constantine it's usually under the question - along with 'share', 'edit', 'close'. Maybe there's a rep qualification for it? IN that case you can flag it for a mod to consider for reopening.

  • @MarkMayo Indeed, I would've voted for re-open, but the reopen vote privilege is around 3k rep from my StackOverflow memory which I'm not even close to have, hence this question.

    Ack, another crazy case of blatant "close as duplicate" abuse. Why does this keep happening here? Glad to see this one got reopened eventually.
