Just keep practicing. I lived in England for about a year so I've had the experience the other way around, and yes it confused me and scared me to drive there (and I don't even want to blame this on the tiny roads in England and reckless drivers there lol :whistle: ). Anyway, after a couple of times driving you will feel more and more confident and get used to it, trust me, one day soon it will feel all normal to you.

.... how in the heck did you all figure out how to drive here!!

Well, when I first moved here, I did not have the luxury of someone always being available to take me wherever I had to go, so Mapquest.com became my best friend (even though they were off some of the time). Also, it was scary driving on the right. I did end up on the wrong side of a highway this one time, with my daughter fast asleep in her car seat :o Anyway, to help me along, I chant out loud "The on-coming traffic is on my side... left side... my side....". Left turns were the worst.
