    You keep drifting to the yellow line on the motorway. I did the same when I was there in 2019. Unfortunately, I was on a smaller road and hit the side curb (several times) the first day I was driving. I ended up getting a flat and having to change a "tyre" in the Cliffs of Moher parking lot,.. I mean "car park". I theorized that the problem is that I feel that my body, when driving, is used to being in the left part of the lane, causing me (and you) to somewhat subconsciously push the car to the left.

    As I’ve said before - I believe it’s about 30-40% of the worlds countries drive on the left. It’s the same for those of from the UK or Ireland - driving in America or Europe etc. We experience the same thing to you. I find it takes about a day - then it feels natural.

    That's so weird driving on the wrong side of the road. Wrong side for us Americanos anyways . Been a long time since I drove a stick too. That would be weird also have to left hand it. Glad u didn't end up in a ditch .

      I don’t remember having to pay to park in the small towns. I know the first time we parked in a small town, I asked the bartender in a pub if I needed to pay and he said no, and I was surprised lol

    As a terrified non-driver, all those gear changes used to paralyze me. I had two lots of lessons - both for 6 months. If I ever try again I've always said I'll do it in an automatic and go for an automatic license. You can't drive manuals ('stick') with an automatic license. How does this affect Americans?

    • @LincolnintheAdirondacks
      @LincolnintheAdirondacks  5 років тому

      It doesn’t. Our license allows us to drive both and there’s no designation on the license as to which you can drive

      You were being filmed and that still counts here Really tight rules, Even if your passenger is holding a phone or camera, ( or it is hands free mounted) the driver cannot "interact" with it if that makes sense.
