Hi Mike.

I'm busy at the moment (Caroline) but I'll check it out later.

Thankyou for posting it.

yes I remember that station when having been to Roslyn Harbor a couple of years ago and doing a trip to the end of the Island in my blue Ford Mustang which I had rented from "Rent a Wreck"
I really loved Long Island when my aunt and my uncle were still living in Roslyn.
I also made some strange experiences when I visited John's Beach after having walked into the wrong direction (to the left instead of to the right) - took me a while to understand - but believe me I never have left a beach that fast again ....

No !! "Rent a Wreck" is the best place to rent a car - they are old cars but all are in a good a shape at a low price and its really fun when you like Oldtimers - my Mustang was just great - I loved that car ... I had three Mustangs from them in the last 12 years. You find "Rent a Wreck" all over New England as well

Yes in the US it is very smooth driving - very relaxed driving due to the speed-limits. - Our automobile lobby in GER successfully has prevented general speed-limits on German high-ways up to now so driving on the highway or state-roads is always a fight against faster, pushing up cars or especially trucks.
Yes I probably had the same troubles like you if driving in the UK - funny thing many people like my brother in law who has to go to UK quite often has no troubles at all driving on the 'wrong' side but many others have. - Maybe to have the steering-wheel also on the 'wrong' side helps.

When I went over to the Continent, I came off the Ferry at Dunkirk(sp) and made a strong mental not to drive on the wrong side of the road and I was successful..........................................for a short time, till we got into Belgium near the "Tobacco Mile" where I turned onto another road and immediately started to drive on the "correct" side of the road! A local came toward me, stopped their car and hald his hands up as if to say "Stoopid Brit"!

I guess they must be used to it there though I suppose, a bit like people in Dover are.

After that though I got into the practice and driving on the "wrong" side came naturally.

I think the problem really rises when you have to turn left (right) on a cross-road without yielding signs. On the Continent we have right before left (which means left has to give way) - is it the other way round in the UK that right has to yield to the traffic coming from the left ?
