Europe outside of UK drives on the right. Far as I know only, UK, Japan, India, Australia, and NZ are on left. There are quite a few continental cars in the UK and visa-versa. Visability is a bit of an issue - but I'm sure people who drive the "wrong-sided" cars are quite used to it and compensate. Remember riding around in a VW van from Germany that was owned by some folks I was visiting 20 years ago. Having just arived from the US, it appeared perfectly normal to me, driver on the left, but driving on the left. Took a cople of days to realize that wasn't the norm.

I agree remembering which side to get in is a problem.

Now what I found strange was driving 3 on the tree shifting with left hand in India - that hand should be the turn signal up there. Aside from a little trial, I just leave the driving there to others.
