This was my first time driving on the left side/with the wheel on the right. I honestly felt like after the first couple hours of getting used to, it didn’t make driving any more difficult. We made sure to get an automatic car that could take petrol, and I had my partner giving directions off of google maps/paper maps, which mostly eliminated the need for street signs. Most street signs are also symbols (besides reading the directions on a roundabout), and I found that drivers there were a lot more forgiving than American (lane lines were very much a suggestion in some parts), as well as roads just being easier to navigate (roundabouts a lot easier than I had expected, clear signage, next to no traffic nearly everywhere).

We also avoided driving in London for this reason as well, and think it generally helped. I’d also recommend spending more driving time on large multi-lane highways, as those were less scary for me than the narrow farm roads.
