Message: [QUOTE="j66kicker, post: 3621213, member: 4447"] Yeah, turning is goofy til you get used to it - especially turning right. But the roundabouts are the killers (and the English [I]love[/I] their roundabouts). Driving around clockwise (unfamiliar) on the left side (unfamiliar) and exiting on the left (unfamiliar). Inexperienced right-side drivers are a head-on collision waiting to happen. What helps me is you are sort of automatically reminded to drive on the left because of your driving position on the right side of the car. But the English take their right-drive English cars through the Chunnel and go right out into France and drive them on the right. Same for the Europeans - they take their left-drive ("normal") cars though the Chunnel and go right out into England and drive them on the left. They just don't think it's a big deal. Like speaking 5 languages - just the normal skill set to get along... [/QUOTE]
