Default Driving in Ireland/UK

My wife and I lived in Ireland (Dublin) for six years. One simple phrase I learned was, “Look right, drive left.” That is, if you are about pull out onto a street, first look right (instead of left as we do in the States). In Ireland, the oncoming traffic will be coming your way in their left lane, so that is why you first look right. Then simply make sure you are driving in the left lane. Of course, as you pull out, you also want to make sure the left lane is clear. Hope that makes sense.
