4. It was easier driving than being a pedestrian

just follow what the people in front of you do, and be on your toes all the time. It's easy to get confused when tired, so until he's used to driving on the "correct" side I recommend driving very conservatively - i.e., stay below the speed limit, don't try to pass too many people. My biggest problem when I was in the UK on business was getting out of work, getting into the car as I normally would, and wondering what happened to the steering wheel...and the pedals (which are in the same configuration, luckily).

My first experience driving on the other side was in Tasmania, where people seem to mainly drive in the middle
