I like to ski Colorado late January and that driving on the wrong side of the road is a real challenge. Even as a pedestrian, you find yourself looking the wrong way all the time. Australia has as many unique (but different) features as the USA and you don't have to tip. So you would all be welcome to visit us downunder and as the advert goes "where the bloody hell are ya" (we actually speak like that, by the way) Gary

During my time in the US Navy it seems like every time we had a port visit in some port where they drove on the left side of the road some sailor would get 3 sheets to the wind, look the wrong way and get hit by a car. Which is easy to do even when sober. When stationed in Japan I got used to driving in the right seat, but I was always uncomfortable as a passenger in the left front seat. The place you are most apt to screw up driving on the left is going around a corner and ending up on the wrong side of the road. Rotaries or "round-a-bouts" are also scary. Years ago in college in Idaho we had an Aussie student that ran into a state cop in the barrow pit along side of the road. Seems some emergency happened on the road, the cop took to the right ditch and the Aussie went quickly to the left and there they collided.
