Hobbit, I did the same thing in Massachusetts, pulled out of a petrol station and was driving head on towards a lady driving a black Mercedes. Took me a couple of seconds to realise "I" was in the wrong......with my wife screaming in my ear. I'll never forget the shocked look on that poor ladies face!!!!

Check out this, guys!!

Driving on either the left or the right side of the road reduces the incidence of vehicles being involved in head-on collisions with each other. This is so fundamental that it is sometimes known simply as the rule of the road. About 34% of the world by population drive on the left, and 66% on the right. By roadway distances, about 28% drive on the left, and 72% on the right,[1] even though originally most traffic drove on the left worldwide.

Let's get this right, it's better to drive right on the left than it is to drive left on the left?

So if you want to go north from the south you drive right on the left, but you can't turn right or left because then you'll be on the wrong side of the rode

Several years ago rented an E-Glide out of Sydney following business there. Fantastic time exploring New South Wales. Highly recommended.
