OTOH, don't route yourself through the Hangar Lane Gyratory for at least your first week @:-)
I think you mean it only took a few drives for
you to get used to it. Some people are completely unable to make the change, and some people can do it instantly. I was confident I'd adapt pretty seamlessly and was disappointed that it took me a day to make the basic accommodation (to driving in England and Wales) and I never completely relaxed. It felt like I kept expending a certain amount of subconscious brainpower, and that was enough to make the driving considerably more stressful.
