In Ireland the driver seat is on the opposite side of the car than in USA. Also, in Ireland you drive on the opposite side of the road than in USA. I received the best advice from the guy that rented us the car. In America if the driver looks out his side window and sees the curb, he knows he is on the wrong side of the road. In Ireland, remember everything is opposite. If you look out your side window and see the curb, you will know you are on the wrong side of the road. I found this helpful when driving in the country, looked out my window and saw the curb. I yelled, "Curb" and corrected it immediately. My sister thought that was funny, but had to agree that it was good advice from the car rental place. When we talk about Ireland, she always brings it up. Enjoy your trip, you'll love it there. Don't go to the restaurants in the hotels, but go where the locals go, to the pubs. The pubs have the best food.
