It took some getting used to when we were in Japan.

I've driven on the left side of the road everywhere from Botsawana to Bangladesh. I am okay with the steering column on either side.

It's not the left side of the road that I would make me nervous about driving in those two countries.

Driving in Korea took some getting used and they drive on the right.

Driving in Italy made me realise why so many Italians are fine racing drivers. It's how they drive ALL the time.

Quote from: "Bricktop"No, we drive on the left side, which is the right side.

They put a lot of weight on the accelerator?

Oh, yes indeedy.



And they seem completely bemused by the pedal to it's immediate left.



And there are speed warning signs on the Autostrada...reminding drivers if they drop BELOW 100km/h they will be fined.



Which is somewhat bothersome when Avis could not provide you with the vehicle you booked, and give you a Fiat Uno instead, which, with its asthmatic and lawnmower sized engine struggles to achieve 110km/h top speed.

It's around 100km between Rome and Naples...my foot was hard on the floorboards the whole way. 105 - 110km/h was the best I could do.



Meanwhile, big Mercs, Alfas, Ferraris and Beemers are blasting past at 200km/h plus.

It's different to what I am used to, that's for sure.
