[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes I knew. I'm afraid of driving in the UK or Ireland because you have to drive on the other side of the road and from the passenger side of the car. I don't think I could do it. [/quote]

Until fairly recently, almost all UK/Irish rental cars were stick shift, which made it even harder to drive there if you’re not used to it.  My  usually-stoic brother cried while trying to negotiate a tricky series of intersections and roundabouts in England once.  He eventually pulled over until he could calm down and figure it all out.

I’m honestly surprised Americans are even allowed to rent cars in the UK.  Everything is backward: Sitting on the right side, shifting gears with your left hand, merging from the left etc.  I wouldn’t even attempt it.[/quote]

I did it recently for the first time in Grand Cayman and the takeaway for me and my friend was that either of us could only do it with the other actively engaged in the driving, pointing out where to turn, which side of the roundabout to enter, etc. We needed each other to be aware and check against our gut driving impulses.[/quote]
