I would consider myself a good driver on the right side of the road but I am wondering if visiting Ireland and renting a car is for me.

Also how do you feel about driving manual transmission when not used to churning gears with the usual hand?

    You get used to it after a few scares. Hell I was just a pedestrian in Japan and damn near got run over looking the wrong way out of habit. Only once!

      I find it’s harder as a pedestrian than a driver… You’re mostly aligning yourself as a driver and looking for pedestrians/cars coming but they can come from either side regardless of what side you’re driving on… For pedestrians though the side you look at first is switched so there’s a very real chance you just step out into traffic

      I almost walked into traffic in England once, a friend had to pull me back. Scary stuff.
