ie. If you are used to driving on the right hand side of the road and move to a left hand side driving country. Or vice versa.

I could not find any research on that question. I recently spent several weeks in the Bahamas, which drives on the opposite side as to which I am used to. I drove pretty much every day and I had to constantly be aware of the fact that my instincts were wrong.

I mostly drove a motorbike and did not know anyone that had a right-hand steering car.

I constantly felt like this, which is an image of Dagen H, the day that Sweden switched sides. Some of the details of that switch are not things I would have ever thought of. Such as having to buy new buses with the entry doors on the right side and moving the bus shelters to the other side of the road.

Haha, Dagen H was hugely succesful and there was less traffic accidents that day because everyone was prepared. It is one of my favorite thing to bring up though because the fact that we switched sides later means we weren't conquered by napoleon.
