Yep – agree with all of that. Having spent years in the US (have probably driven 100,000km in LHD cars) you get very used to the gear changing and everything else. My biggest nightmare with them is the indicators – on some of my LHD cars they’re opposite to the RHD version, and on others the manufacturer appears to have merely picked up the steering column and swapped it to the other side, leaving the indicators on the same side as they were. There’s no consistent pattern. I will add though that parallel parking I find to be easier in the LHD because you’re right there on the edge and can see better.
