Drove in Canada for three weeks (on the wrong side!), then Ireland for three
weeks (correct side again), then Turkey for 4 weeks (I think they were
supposed to drive on the right side; usually however it was in the
middle!!). I'm 63 - but really found no problem - in fact, back in Brisbane
I had to be careful coming out of supermarket car parks etc that I didn't
heave over onto the right hand side!!!

It's a matter of concentration - and not a lot of that frankly!

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?
