Talking about Driving

Well heck, I'm from New Zealand where we drive on the left-hand-side of the road - possibly because we are generally a liberal (left leaning, on the side of the individual rather than business profits - or rather, we used to be, when I was at High School in the '60s) country, and then we went to America for a couple of years in 2005. I immediately got an illegal job as a pool guy, which meant I had to buy a pool vehicle (1990 Jeep Cherokee) and drive about 200 miles a week. So I did. Point is, after a day or so in a "Right-hand Drive" country, I had it mastered. And I was in my late 50s. Easy-peasy. Just keep your wits about you, as they say. Forget all this nonsense about body language, left-hand-right-hand brain, just go out there and drive. BUT: be very careful stepping off the footpath (pavement) and crossing the road... Eventually, of course, as many do,we had to leave Orange Country, too many Republicans...
