I just got back from a trip to the uk a few days ago. I've been several times, and driving gets easier every time. The first time I did it I was terrified for an hour or two. This most recent time the only trouble I had was drifting to the left side of the lane for a couple minutes until I got used to the new perspective. I'm so used to being near to the left side of the lane marker that it feels weird to be on the other side. Other than that the only funny thing is that I constantly walk up to the left side door when getting into the car. It's a habit that's hard to break, and kind of gets funny by the 20th time.
