Italian here, my aunt used to live in Ireland and I’ve always found so strange that you guys (and Brits too tbh) drive on the left in Europe.

    I have family in America, they all drove here and had no problem driving there.

    Me on the other hand am a bit gimpy so I didn’t try driving there. I’m sure if I just went out and did it I’d be fine.

    i don’t travel enough for it to ever be a problem, but my sister worked in france for a few years and she just couldn’t keep switching back and forth when she visited home. she ended up getting lifts everywhere so that she could stay used to driving on the right-hand side.

    i wouldn’t spend much time contacting politicians over it tho, i’d rather that we campaign for free & frequent public transport first 🙂‍↕️🙌

    Most, or at least many things here are the way they are because that’s the way the Brits do it.

    I once drove in a country where they drive on the opposite side. The problem I had was exiting roundabouts. I’m well used to them here, but for some reason when I’m going the opposite way around a roundabout, none of the exits look right.

    I think I went around the roundabout three times while discussing it with the lads in the car.
