[Mgs] The wrong side of the road

[Larry Daniels]

My Austin Ute is RHD and I have zero problem driving it here in the states. 
Nor do I have any problem driving a RHD vehicle on the left side of the road 
in Ireland -- for a few days.  I find that when I first get there I'm good 
for the first few days and then I get too comfortable with it and start to 
not think about what I am doing.  My wife occasionally has to remind me to 
get into the left lane as she is digging her claws into the dash.

I have driven both LHD and RHD cars on the left hand side of the road
and the right hand side of the road. In fact, at one time, I was doing
a weekly commute from Italy (where I had a RHD car) to the UK (where I
had a LHD car) -- yes: the wrong side in both countries!

Once you get used to it, it's not a problem. You just have to adjust
to using different cues to where on the road you should be. The only
difficulty is overtaking on narrow roads and paying tolls!
