A few words about driving on the left side of the road
In most of the countries in the world, driving is on the right side of the road. Many rules are based on that principal: turning, circles and so on. In Ireland, like in the United Kingdom and a few more countries, driving is on the left side of the road. The driver sits on the right side of the vehicle, and the vehicles coming across pass you on your right. A left turn is done the way we are used to do a right turn - close to the edge of the road. A right turn is done the way we are used to do a left turn - including all the meaning of it. Passing a vehicle in front of you - from its right. (and not from its left). When you get to a circle, you turn left and then clockwise (and not counter-clockwise, like we are used to in most countries). Don't forget to yield to the vehicles allready in the circle - coming to you from your right. If you're riding in a narrow road, and a vehicle is coming towards you from the front - remember to pass it from your left. It took me a few minutes to get used to it, like a dog thrown to the water and starts to swim. When I came home, it was even easier to get used back to driving on the right. All my life I've been driving on the right, but now it's not that obious. |
