Default Manual or Automatic Rental in Countries that Drive on the Wrong (Left) Side of the Road

The freeways were fine, but we went on some very narrow mountainous
roads, some too narrow for two vehicles to pass each other.


Agreed that manual is easy to get used to, but instinct for the left
side of the hard is the hard part. And second the narrow roads -- get
the more narrow car you can get. Fortunately the single lanes has
slow, infrequent traffic, and one driver or the other pulls over
somehow to allow the other car to pass -- usually the call closest to a
pull-over spot.

I'd like to suggest in particular, the penninsulas on the western coast
are spectacular for driving. Beara and the Healy Pass were the best.
