Back to driving on the other side of the road.This switching of driving lanes get kind of confusing. Fortunately, I think people are used to going with the flow and driving based on memory more than thinking which side of the road people actually drive on.
I will make this observation though. Even though it is the national pastime of France to figure out how to get around the rules (all the way from cutting in lines at the market or inappropriate stock trades that causes a major bank to lose millions of dollars - ouch), they do respect the parking rules a bit better than the Irish. Granted they actually have police officers that actually write tickets for parking violations, so that might be part of the secret. Ha!
