When I drove a RHD manual car in Ireland, this is what made it challenging. Yes, the layout is the same, but my brain struggled with that – it seems like my brain codes the shift pattern as not, say, “first gear is ‘up and left’”, but as “first gear is ‘up and towards me’”. I had no end of, for example, shifting into 2nd gear, when I was shooting for 4th, due to this.
That poor, poor rental car…
