I’ve never had to drive on the left myself, but its scared the holy hell out of me in several Caribbean countries, especially when heading into a roundabout.

If you want to test your driving nerve, try driving an English country road at night time. They wind, they are lined with hedges so you can't see what's coming around the bend, and English drivers are impatient. They are right up your ass if you don't drive fast enough. Oh, least I forget you drive on the wrong side of the road. And to add to the challenge, English roads are about 60 percent the width of American roads.

You forgot to mention that English country roads undulate in width, never quite making it to a full two lanes and often narrowing to a car’s breadth.

Protip: never play chicken with farm vehicles. They will pitilessly mow you down....
