Default Driving on the unaccustomed side of the road

This past November and December I drove extensively in the area bounded by
Adeaide, Brisbane, and Melbourne, or whatever I am an American who has

driven
in the USA and Canada for 40 years. I found driving on the left often

quite
disconcerting. Several times I got on the wrong side and got pulled over

by the
police. No tickets or accidents unfortunately. But I feel I am living on
borrowed time and thus may never be back to anywhere you drive on the left
since vacations without automobiles I have found very unsatisfying.

I would be interested in others' experiences on driving on the unacustomed

side
of the road anywhere in the world. Would you care to share?



Cant say I've ever had a problem when renting a car overseas
since the steering wheel being on the wrong side of the
vehicle tends to jog the old memory.

The only time I've been momentarily confused is when driving
my own car through France and Germany
