I picked up a rental car so Sandrine and I can drive around a bit of Ireland before St. Patrick's Day. I figured I should get a little driving in town before we hit the open (and not well-maintained) country roads. The gear shift and emergency brake are on the left while the indicator control is on the right. Luckily the pedals are in the same order that I am used to (clutch, brake, gas).
With a minimal amount of revving the engine and no stalls, I made it from City Centre out to my apartment and got parked. I did, however, flick the windshield wipers on more than once because I forgot about the indicator being on the other side. Now I'll know to keep an eye out for other vehicles doing that when it isn't raining so I can know who else is a new left-hand-side-of-the-road driver; there'll be lots of them with St. Patrick's Day coming up.
And so the fun begins!
