Very interesting and a good read-----
Adjusting to being on the opposite side of the road soon registers for most folk. The danger time being when you stop for fuel and pull back on to the main road from a garage.---
Myself, having a LHD car, a RHD car and a motorbike all used at different times here in France or back in the UK can take a minute or two to adjust my brain.
Sometimes on the nearside or offside or in the middle of the road makes you think.
Friends pulled out of a Garage in their Ford and had a head on collision with a French car. Just cuts and bruises. No bones broken. The car was a write off though.
Son in law and daughter on a motorbike missed our turn off. Turned around, rode straight into a car coming the other way. Spent all of their holiday in hospital where my son in law had one testicle removed where it had been crushed against the fuel tank.--
