Years ago my uncle went to England on business. He always tells us about the time he got lost and started driving the wrong way in one of those roundabout things (not sure if there's a proper name for it). He didn't know how it worked because we don't have those here! There was also another time when he was in Italy and was driving on one of their highways. He said that everyone seemed to be going faster than an F1 or Nascar racecar and that is normal for them! He also said people were just moving willy-nilly down the road with no lane structure or anything lol. And they don't use carseats for babies and kids there!

And... which side is the blinker lever on?
The gas and brakes?
Oh noes!
I don't think I would find the shifting too bad. I'm left-handed! And I'm guessing the blinker switch would be on the right side of the wheel, since here it's generally on the left side. I'm assuming everything is a mirror-image.
