>I pride myself in being rather ambidextrous for most of the stuff - I can write and draw with my left (the handwriting isn't much worse than my right hand one, but that doesn't mean it's good :), using pen or chalk; I can switch knife and fork (actually, the rule is "fork is on the side where the salad bowl is"). I can do lots of stuff in mirrored positions which many would find confusing... but I simply can't imagine myself driving on the left. Maybe, as Viv says, you get used to it. My concern is how to survive the accommodation period.
