Driving Left

Once in Scotland and in a car, the prospect of actually driving is daunting. It does seem a bit odd to drive on the left side of the road. It can be done with a great deal of concentration and a group effort to constantly remind the driver to turn left and stay left, and oh yes, look right!

So if you are contemplating driving in the UK, take a chance and try it. It is a bit of a fist clincher on the steering wheel because the roads are narrow. Your car just fits in on the road. So, not much room for error. The difficult thing is to remember to drive left but to not drift left, as there are cars parked on the left and you can remove a mirror of a parked car or worse, if you don't mind where you are going!

Travel well!
