I must say that as a UK driver - going the wrong way around a roundabout in Germany for the first time was the most odd experience! and driving a US-made crew coach through the narrow streets of Belize City with a column shift on the wrong side (when you have never driven a column shift vehicle, or a LHD one, or one that size before) was a never to be forgotten experience - I should explain that in Belize the Brits drive on the left, the Americans drive on the right - and the Belizeans drive where-ever- the-hell the mood of the moment takes them - usually down the centre of the road (or at least, that is how it seems most of the time). When I was out there there was only one set of traffic lights in the country - controlling a narrow bridge across the Belize River - and nobody had a clue what the colours meant!
