I've had to learn to be 'ambidextrous' so far as driving us concerned, as I now live in the USA and visit the UK regularly.

My car on the States is an automatic and in the UK a manual transmission. It takes a couple of days and definite concentration on driving to get used to each vehicle when I make the change.

Jasmine - driving in the West Country isn't so bad. Depending where in the USA you are now, you'll probably find the roads a bit narrower and busier there and, the further down you get toward Cornwall, more winding. Kendall got a real education when we went to Cornwall last year!

Until you have a good bit of driving UK style under your belt just don't even think about doing the South East.
