Driving in the UK vs driving in the US

Ho boy it just hit me how difficult it would be to learn how to drive in the UK after moving from the USA.

Not the driving-on-the-opposite-side-of-the-road thing, or even the driving-through-a-roundabout thing.

It’s the stick shift.

Think of it… you’re used to smoothly shifting up and down the gears, around turns, from stoplights, up and down hills, etc.

Using what? Your RIGHT arm. Now, you’d need to relearn the process using your LEFT arm.

For people slow in the head like me this could take some time…. and would be quite the exciting challenge.
