Good Evening All: All the Irish Americans I ever knew who lived or are living in America rented cars from Dan Dooley. Just buy all the insurance that's offered. D.D. calls it "peace of mind" insurance, and it is. Driving on the left side of the road is fine when the driver and his steering wheel and all the other bits are on the right side of the front seat. HOWEVER, if you are used to driving from the left side of the front seat [how its done in the "civilized world"] on the right side of the roadway, when driving from the right side of the front seat, you will have difficulty judging just where the left-front corner of the car happens to be. [It's all a matter of habit]. That's what accounts for all the broken left side mirrors of rental cars in Ireland. Love, Jack Sweeney, in Palmer, Pennsylvania, where the Amish and their horses know enough to "keep right".
