Have you ever driven (any vehicle) on the "wrong" side of the road?

What does that mean?
  • If you live in Portugal and you visit Ireland and drive while there, you are driving on the "wrong" side of the road.
  • And, conversely of course, if you live in Ireland and visit Portugal and drive there, you are driving on the "wrong" side of the road.

I have only visited one territory where I could have done it - the UK - but, in my handful of visits, I never had to drive there. :)

Yes. My first time driving on the wrong (left) side of the road was in Cyprus. Since then, I have driven on the wrong side of the road in Ireland, Northern Ireland and South Africa as well.
