Driving on the right hand side of the road

One thing I’ve forgotten to mention so far, is that I’ve now driven Alex’s car a few times since I’ve been here. I even drove Vicki, Robert and Alex home the night we went out for dinner.

I have to say it takes a LOT of concentration to give way to the other side of the road. Actually driving on the right side is easy to get used to, but giving way, roundabouts, indicating (I keep putting the window wipers on), changing gears with the left hand and turning left onto the right hand side at traffic lights is incredibly hard! It takes a lot of concentration, and just by instinct I still have to look the other way aswell when giving way (which probably isn’t a bad thing anyway).

Anyway, it’s a bit of fun, and I’ve only driven on local streets and not for very far. I wouldn’t ever attempt going on the freeway, that’s just too scary.
