SKYSCANNER has launched the first ever left hand driving school to give holiday-goers the confidence they need to drive abroad after research* out today reveals that over a quarter (27%) of British travellers admit to being afraid of driving on the opposite side of the road.

Skyscanner’s Mary Porter commented: “With two-thirds of the world’s countries driving on the right-hand side of the road we wanted to give British holidaymakers the confidence they need to drive overseas. Rules and regulations vary from country to country so we’ve also published a guide (www.skyscanner.net/news/driving-abroad-guides) to provide some clarity for drivers including top tips on driving on the opposite side of the road. There is so much to discover off the beaten track so we hope people make the most of it without the fear of driving abroad.”

The guide not only includes a list of national speed limits for UK’s most popular holiday destinations for car hire but also a list of unusual road signs they may come across as well as key driving laws from across the globe.

FWIW, nobody over here seems to know what you are to do at a YIELD either.  And there's one about every 2 blocks.
