I went to England for the first time earlier this year. It was easier and harder than I thought it would be. The hardest part is having that knee-jerk reaction of which side to stay on. For example, one morning, pre-coffee, with zero people on the road, I turned right instead of left into a roundabout and proceeded out of the roundabout in the right hand lane, just like I would in the US or any left-driving country. It wasn't until I noticed headlights in my lane, far in the distance that I freaked out and realized I was driving on the wrong damn side of the road. Other cars help keep me aware of what I should do, when they weren't around I slipped into old habits fast!
