This made me remember riding one night across the countryside of 
Scotland in a Damiler Double Six sedan (Jaguar XJ).  The gentleman 
driving was really getting into the spirit of it, but every time we 
took a sharp curve and met oncoming headlights, I found myself 
grabbing for controls that weren't there.  I'm pretty sure if I 
attempted to drive in the UK, I would get in an accident in a 
situation like that.  Instinctively pull the car to the wrong side 
and WHAM.
