    The only place I have been where I had to drive on the left was the USVI. It wasn't a problem. However, the cars are American, so the steering wheel is on the left.

    I travelled East to get the test done and there are not only roundabouts but joined together roundabouts going that way - I think that this must have been some sort of experimental area for novel traffic management - it was the first place in England to have traffic lights, I am told

    I was in South Wales last year and experienced chains of roundabouts near the Severn River. The driver was Welsh (thank gawd) and did it all from memory. They happened so fast that l doubt I could follow a GPS plot through them. Here in Canada we can drive many roads for hours without having to make a decision. I also drive with a manual transmission day-to-day but I shift subconsciously after a half century and the reversed gear shift throws me as well.

    Save our UK cousins some grief. Save yourselves. Leave the driving to British Rail, Scots Rail and tour operators. You can't hear the rude words being directed at you as you are driving away from them.
