It's dangerous, in that it makes it very hard to see to pass, or make
left turns. Not that I'd have a "panic attack" over it, but I'd
certainly prefer not to drive it. I've had to do the opposite in the
Caribbean, where they use American left-hand-drive cars, but drive on
the British side of the road. It's nervous making, particularly if
you don't have a passenger to tell you what's going on.


Well, my car is small enough that I can simply lean out the passenger
side window myself and look- and with 27HP, I'm not passing anybody
But the situation you faced in the Caribbean is just plain strange...

I could always get a job at the post office- their vans are right
hand drive too.
