This makes my brain hurt every time…
![]() I’ve gotten pretty used to driving on the wrong side. It still takes me 2-3 days before I stop walking up to the passenger side of the car tho. The car was a brand new Q2… ok little car. Wiper position is terrible, puts the rain right in the drivers line if sight in heavy rain. Also if you open the door in the rain, water off the roof runs directly into the seat (front or rear).

Over an 11 year period we spent 7 weeks in the UK. I have driven most of from south to north and had almost no problems. The exception? Parking areas with no markings. Highways and back roads were a blast! Bring on the roundabouts!

The first driving that I ever did, probably 14yo, was in Japan on the wrong side of the road with the steering wheel on the wrong side, and a manual. My dad was a nervous wreck and we didn't tackle it again for about a year until we were back in the states and I was closer to getting a learners permit

Unclebilly, one time which did give me pause: we had spent a couple of nights on the Isle of Aran and were taking the ferry from the north of the island to the Kintire peninsula. The wind was coming up as a hurricane was approaching and as we approached the ferry slip, the deck hand came to our car (we were the only vehicle aboard) and asked ,"The Captain wants to know if you can back off." His broad Scots speech and the off the wall question took me by surprise so i had to ask him to repeat it. It seems the wind direction meant if the vessel was turned, the smoke from the stack would blow into the wheel house. I told him I could, then faced my next challenge. Leaving the ferry, there would be oncoming vehicles to the right, but since I was reversing, they would be on my left, which meant I had to keep to my right. But not too far, because there were no guard rails on that side. Obviously we made it.

Driver to the middle always.
That’s all you need to remember. Works for everything. |
