What frightens me the most is having the steering on the wrong side of the car...

I was once honoured with an army vehicle when being a liaison officer at the 1st Royal Anglian Regiment in Salisbury plains. I was glad to have a couple of driving lessons first.

After that, I was trying hard to enter a roundabout in Germany YOUR way.
