Thanks for the heads up on that. I think it was a contentious issue at the time I wrote this. I’ll amend.

No, it’s not quite true about the licences. Yes, if you are a UK citizen permanently living in Ireland then you need to swap your UK licence for an Irish one but if you are just visiting, your UK licence is just fine.

Oh you’ll be fine when you do. Just take time to find your composure.

I haven’t had this experience of right hand drive, but I am hoping I will. It never even occurred to me that the shifter would be on the opposite side! You’ve brought some good points to light. Wish me luck! 🍀❤️

I’ve been lucky to have never gotten a flat so never had this experience. But don’t get me started on all that has happened to me driving on the right.

The car had a wheel lock and the rental company did not provide the key. A local repair shop was able to unlock the wheel, I paid a hefty fee to patch and return the wheel. In research, I have heard that companies charge astronomical fees for tyre issues and that they are quite common.

I had no problems with subsequent rentals but it is on my mind whenever I drive on the island.
