Re: Pssht, it's you guys that drive on the wrong side. You should admit the error of your ways. Camilla Send a noteboard - 20/04/2010 10:10:29 PM
Napoleon started it, Hitler continued it. Britain stands firm against dictatorial driving policies!

More seriously, I've discovered that the hard part isn't driving on the other side, it's having the gearstick on the other side. So if you get a European car, he should be fine as long as he has you to remind him to keep left whenever he turns a corner or enters/exits a roundabout, and look ahead to see if he can overtake. Most of your driving will be on dual carriageways anyway, so it won't be possible to go on the wrong side.


I find I am rarely sure which is left and which is right. Even when walking.
