Just as some moderator/administrator admitted around here, this site isn't exactly international, rather a US one and others are only guests.
Thus driving on the wrong side is merely pathetic and nobody cares (or even knows that is possible).

A guide on Tenerife warned against renting a car: "There are many English tourists here. They drive on their own side of the road!".

Looked that up at last: "
for example, in American English a rubber is usually interpreted as a condom rather than an eraser" - well, for me it's rather a material than a product. "
We are the World. You are the children."
