>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.

I don't have your mirroring skills but found driving on the left to be no big deal. The only thing I noticed was I would sometimes touch the curb, apparently judging its position based on my own position inside the car. It surprised me how quickly it felt normal. (Which of course it isn't ;-) ) What didn't find normal were those insane London roads, which were surely laid out by cows. Blind ones.
