The Highway CodeBe afraid. Be very afraid - there's a rented car out there with my name on it

Dr B. had to rent a car to commute to work, and he added my name on the contract as a monthiversary present, for me to practice driving on the left. I mean, to practice right-hand driving, as opposed to what I'm used to (driving on the right, I mean with a left-hand drive car, that is on the wrong side of the road compared to here).

Better start reading this, and forget the rules I picked up while driving in Italy, such as "the number of actual lanes is always equal to the number of lanes marked on the road plus one", and "it is an obligation for the driver behind the first car at the traffic lights to blow their horn in haste the very moment the lights turn green (there's no such thing as transition orange there)".

As I said, be very afraid - an European with no sense of direction is on the loose.
