Heed the advice of the folks who have recommended that you get an automatic transmission car. Even if you are used to driving a standard transmission, you'll find that having to shift gears with your left hand requires an extra degree of concentration. When you also trying to focus on driving on the left, and trying to remember who has the right away going into and out of those **** roundabouts, it's just something that you don't need to be worrying about.

We picked up our car at Gatwick Airport, and headed straight for Hampton Court Palace. It was such a harrowing ride that my son got out and kissed the ground when we got there. The truth is that I felt like doing the same thing.
