MMmmmm, guess its usefullness is reflected in the number of purchases...
I wonder if they do one for the UK, the number of people who don't know how to use lanes on a roundabout might find it usefull.

That is just plain ridiculous - if you need to look at a picture to make sure you are on the right side of the road then you shouldn't be
driving!

Well actually, it's very easy to make a mistake. The first couple of times turning left or meeting a roundabout, when the kids are screaming in
the back and the wife's asking did you pick up the passports from reception, can be iffy.

I took my car down to Bavaria a while ago. Did really well for the whole holiday... excpet for when we stopped in a lay-by on the left side of the
road to look at a mountain view. Of course, when I started off again I carried on driving on the left - until I saw a car coming straight towards me!
I'm not sure who was most surprised, me, my wife, or the driver coming the opposite way... Oops!
I could always cope with roundabouts - turning right at T-junctions always got me worried. I always hoped that there would be a car in front of me
that I could follow (and just hope that it wasn't another UK driver).
On the next trip I hired a German car - made it much easier to get things right.

I once got busted in New Jersey, USA by John Law for driving on the wrong side of the road. I was only 18 and driving my mates Mazda 323 at 3am.
Anyways, we were driving along this road and I pulled over to show my mate a mailbox that was painted in hotrod balck with flames. I stopped for a
minute or so then pulled back onto the correct side of the road.
So John Law pulls me over, my mate tells me the docs are in the glovebox so I reaches over to get them out and Law pulls his gun on me (Shat my
pants!!!!) he then told me that he'd seen me driving on the wrong side of the road for at least a mile, but then as soon as I opened my mouth to
explain he realised I was English (probably thought I was Irish) and said I must have been confused and just wandered off.

Most confusing I found was having gone one junction too far on a M-way in Germany ... coming off at a junction that allows you to double-back
doesn't require thought in the UK...
