Driving in Japan with the wheel on the right side. The first time I did that last year I drove on the wrong side of the road about 5 times and got a shock every time when I saw all the ghost drivers just to quickly realize that it's me who is driving the wrong way. This year it only happened one time, so my brain seems to adapt to that better and better.
Driving in North America
I once took a trip to the UK and was brave enough (or dumb enough) to rent a car in London and drive around the country side. I drove down small town streets the wrong way several times and I nearly killed myself trying to navigate a roundabout twice.
As a passenger it was frightening. You sit there in what has always been the drivers seat to you yet you have no control over the vehicle.
It all completely screws with you brain.
We got to see Stonehenge tho, so that was great.
Oh rofl only now I realize it's my picture, just mirrored ๐คฃ. I was thinking wow he has the same infotainment system in his car.
Ah good thing is, there are almost no roundabouts in Japan.
The best part is ..... you're in Japan! ... that in itself is amazing. Good for you.
I live on Korra so it's only a 1.5 hours flight ^^
Hmm, what do you have against roundabouts? They are usually seen as a safer and more efficient type of intersection in most scenarios as compared to traffic lights.
the fact that it would be extremely confusing to get to one when you're driving on a opposite lane than you're used to?
which is what they were talking about
That's an awfully selfish perspective to call this a "good thing" for Japan. Roundabouts save lives https://time.com/6294785/traffic-deaths-road-safety-roundabouts/
bruh.... they are literally saying it in the context of "well I am glad I haven't had to go to one because they don't really exist here"
not that it's a good thing for japan to not have roundabouts so some foreigners don't have to drive them. no one is saying roundabouts are bad.
