3) Hmmmm. You think I could figure out the whole wrong side of the road thing?

You absolutely can figure out the other side of the road thing! It's a bit disconcerting, but it's more than possible to do. I found it helped to watch the cars, but of course when I was on totally empty roads that didn't work too well. I can't remember ending up on the wrong side of the road at any time on my Ireland trip.

funny, I used the picture below in a focus group of crosswalk users to see how they liked this as a safety measure. Their main comments regarded the fact that the words are not in a universal language. They felt symbols would be better for non-english speaking/reading folks. anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there since I was familiar with it....
