no, it is not. problem is, when overtaking a truck (..or lorry...) in a LHD car in GB and vice versa, it
is very hard to have a look what´s coming in front of it...another topic are the lights, since you will light out the wrong side of the road. Therefore you have to buy stickers, when only on a journey, or new hedlights, when buying a car with the steering "on the other side" then you are used to.

just one last word...you get used to sit on the other side very fast from my point of view. takes a few
hours to make it a routine, but then it is fun. (i always tried to pull the handbrake while searching
for the lever in the door...)
