I think you meant "No tickets or accidents, FORTUNATELY." :-)

Or did you ... ?

You are correct in what

It's OK to say "keep the white line on the driver's side" but I
consistently allowed insufficient room between the passenger side
and
the kerb.

So thats why I kept hitting the curb, err, kerb and getting all those
dents.

Yup. I found out that one of the good things about "Eurodrive" is that
a
scratch down the RHR door and a mirror hanging by it's wiring didn't
bother them at all when I returned the car.

Told you I hardly hit anything, but as that happened in Naples it
didn't
count :-)

Missed hearing her mutter "too close" once too often.

I have 15 years driving experience in germany (right(hand) side). I
had
no problems driving in Australia 4 years ago. The only problem was
the
switches for windshield wiper and turn signal, because it was
changed in
the rental car as well. So I needed 3 of 4 weeks in order to
accustom me
to it. And then, back home, another 3 weeks to turn it over again.
But realy dangarous is to go with an continental european car
(right) to
England or Ireland (left).



Or vice versa so watch out Niels my trusty Rover and I are headed
for Switzerland in June

If you enter the continent in France and go direct to switzerland
without hitting germany, no important persons will come into danger

A trusty Rover....now there's a concept!

I think there is a superfluous "t" in there. Coming to think of it,
strike that, the whole word is superfluous.
