Driving in Japan with the wheel on the right side. The first time I did that last year I drove on the wrong side of the road about 5 times and got a shock every time when I saw all the ghost drivers just to quickly realize that it’s me who is driving the wrong way. This year it only happened one time, so my brain seems to adapt to that better and better.
Driving in North America
I once took a trip to the UK and was brave enough (or dumb enough) to rent a car in London and drive around the country side. I drove down small town streets the wrong way several times and I nearly killed myself trying to navigate a roundabout twice.
As a passenger it was frightening. You sit there in what has always been the drivers seat to you yet you have no control over the vehicle.
It all completely screws with you brain.
We got to see Stonehenge tho, so that was great.
Oh rofl only now I realize it’s my picture, just mirrored 🤣. I was thinking wow he has the same infotainment system in his car.
Ah good thing is, there are almost no roundabouts in Japan.
Hmm, what do you have against roundabouts? They are usually seen as a safer and more efficient type of intersection in most scenarios as compared to traffic lights.
The best part is … you’re in Japan! … that in itself is amazing. Good for you.
I live on Korra so it’s only a 1.5 hours flight ^^
I’m in the same boat! It’s a tough transition after driving on the right my entire life. Luckily my wife is always in the passenger seat and will remind me on every turn with “SHARP LEFT” or “WIDE RIGHT”. It helps me immensely.
Driving on the left side of the road while sitting in the right side of the car would be weird. I can’t even get used to it in video games.
I think the weirdest part would be shifting a manual trans with the left hand.
You are all crazy, it’s how the world should be, drive on the left
Well technically we do all drive on the left, though sometimes that means the left side of the car and other times the left side of the road.
Awesome that another country drives on the correct side of the road too.
