Re: Please settle an argument between my DH and I
i think it's the same in ireland, but different in england? I can't remember. I've been there, but I've forgotten now. i didnt do any driving around while i was there, others drove me. I guess if I'd been the one doing the driving, i might remember...sorry!

They drive on the left side, and in the car they sit on the right side of the car when driving.
ETA: My grandparents are from Ireland, so I called my mom and asked her--lol

Re: Please settle an argument between my DH and I
It's the opposite and it's completely confusing when you're so used to looking right before you cross the street.
Ireland, Great Britain and Australia are all opposite of the US.

Re: Please settle an argument between my DH and I
yup opposite.
and after driving there for a while, when you come back to the US, you might happen to do that a few times here, too.

Re: Please settle an argument between my DH and I
Opposite but the hardest part is that the gear shift is also on the opposite side - so you shift with your left hand instead of your right...

Re: Please settle an argument between my DH and I
They drive on the left. We drive on the 'right' 
For rule of reference, most countries that were colonised by England or still belong to the commonwealth drive on the left. South Africa, Australia, Jamaica, West Indies, Singapore, India and many countries in Africa (Kenya, Zimbabwe etc.). Japan does as well, but they have no British history. Go figure.
Yeah, crossing a street over here (Australia) is a pain and I still get confused. I rarely drive over here, but for some reason when I drive back in the States, I get confused and have to think twice...
