>>It's only a problem when we take our cars abroad. Overtaking (passing) a big van, for instance, you have to move out quite far before you can see what's coming the other way, AND, of course, get used to driving on the other side. The latter doesn't take very long though, about 5-10 minutes. But when you approach a roundabout - in England go left and give way to traffic from the right or on the roundabout - it takes some thought at first.

>I never had a problem driving on the left or shifting with the left hand. And roundabouts were fun every time. (OK, I'm weird). The one issue was sometimes clipping the right curb the first few days. I must have been subconsciously judging the car's position like I was still driving on the right. Then when I got back home I would clip right curbs for a while.

You weren't actually programming in Clipper too, were you?
