Survival

We are alive. I have now spent approximately 12 hours driving on the left side of the road, and managed to stay on the left during most of them. We only had one near-death experience involving me attempting to pass a slow moving truck while a fast moving truck was approaching from the opposite direction. Thankfully, I was able to maneuver the car onto the right shoulder in time to avoid disaster.

The best way I can describe driving on the left, is to compare it to writing with your non-dominant hand. The main difference being that the stakes are higher... rather than risking looking semi-illiterate, you are in danger of being turned into a pancake on the side of the road.

Kind of reminds us of that time you parked your escort in the ditch. I believe you were trying to pass a truck then, also.
