I was terrified at driving on the left. First the freeway speed of 70 miles an hour, on the wrong side of the road, driving a stick and approaching a roundabout. OMG. Be afraid, be very afraid.
Then the back roads are ultra narrow and a truck (lorrie) or car coming at you is sphincter tightening. No thanks. Never again.

Just because the speed limit is seventy doesn't mean you have to drive that fast.
It's a lot like driving here, in big cities, if you aren't accustomed to it. Don't let the other drivers dictate how you drive. Slow down; take it easy.
I actually came to really like roundabouts. The multi-laned roundabouts can be a challenge, so my tip is to be sure you get in the most outer lane until you're used to them.
As for lorries, yeah, they appear to always have the right of way. LOL
