Rented a car today to take the dogs out to a kennel for our Italy trip.
I did great pulling out of the Budget rental car park and managed to turn left into the correct lane. Things were going fantastically for 200 yards until I ran into a bus. Damn Brits driving on the wrong side.
Fortunately I just sorta clipped it and took off the passenger side mirror. Took me pretty much all day of driving to get used to the whole bulk of the car being off the left, not the right like I'm used to...
Not sure if I'll be driving much...good thing we got the extra insurance...
(seriously...I ran into a bus.)

Priceless. You are now wot is officially known as a Knobhead ;)
Come on Scotty. You hit a bus? I can relate though - when I first started driving in Tasmania, I was pretty cautious in the cities, but out in the country things were cool. I imagine driving in London, where there is slightly more people, would be a bit different than sleepy Hobart. Hope the trip around Italy with Mum & Dad is going well.

Ummmm... dude. those things are huge. They are red. Ajd they are kinda hard not to see!
How could you miss it?
(Well, in this case, not miss it!!!)
Seriously.
You are giving us Canadians a bad name over there!
Oh dear!! I drove on the wrong side of the road when I was first here - fortunately that was business trip to Salmon Arm which was dead anyway.
Was the bus driver nice about it?
I'm killing myself laughing! Haven't been able to log on as we switched computers, so am just catching up. Hope everyones trip went great! Can't wait to hear all about it!
love jan and wade
PS. Stay off the roads :)
Dont worry -did that in Australia. Missed the car but my passengers shit there pants. They screamed like school girls and grabbed the wheel wich allowed us to escape with our lives. They never let me drive for the next two month wich meant I could drink beer all day while they drove. So there was an upside.
