lefty loosey

[urbpan]

Has anyone here learned to drive on "the other" side of the street? I mean: you learned to drive on one side of the street and then went abroad and drove on the other? I'd like to hear first person accounts. Is it hard, confusing, dangerous, none of the above?

On this day in 365 urban species: Northern shoveler.



When I started this journal I was pretty strict with friends-locking every post that wasn't explicitly about urban nature. Well, I've drifted pretty far afield from that, and no one seems to mind too much. Now when I check my posts from last year I'm surprised that certain posts weren't public. So, I'm unlocking them as I encounter them, so that more people can enjoy them.

For example, Owls eat worms! video.

Also, the best xmas godawful ever!

i had to drive lefty loosey when i was in south africa. turns and rotaries were the hardest for me to deal with, but hopefully antigua won't have big streets!

i wonder if it would help you to practice driving a manual transmission car as i am sure that it's pretty rare for there to be an automatic transmission car with the steering wheel on the right side??

mostly they have tiny little winding streets with people driving really fast on them.

Don't know how common automatic transmissions are there.

These people provide auto transmission cars "unless otherwise noted."
