Driving on t'other side of the road in Europe...

As others have said, it's no big deal.
I took a right-hand drive car across for the first time this summer. I'd driven abroad before but in left-hand drive hire cars.
I was crapping myself disembarking the ferry but after 5 minutes on a main road, it became a doddle. First roundabout you get to is strange but entirely logical. Once you get over the initial panic it's plain sailing.

Just a couple of things to add to what's been said:
Do your research on what you need for the countries you will be driving in (breathalysers, hi-vis vests, GB sticker if it's not on your numberplate, headlamp converters, some places first aid kit, fire extinguishers etc). The AA website is good for this.

Don't drink and drive - common sense anyway but the limits vary from country to country, are generally lower than the UK and the fines are absolutely eye-watering.

Get (if you don't have one) a decent satnav with European maps. Driving round unfamiliar cities on the wrong side of the road requires enough concentration without having a map reading passenger trying to send you the wrong way round a one-way system! If you can get one that will display your speed in Km/h and has option to display the speed limit, these can be really useful features too.

Most of all, enjoy your trip.

 

it,s easy pal after the first ten minutes .you will be ok just use common sence and make sure you read speed limit signs .if you get done speeding on european roads it,s a instant fine or it will come in the post .enjoy germany it,s a great place ,im there every week .

 

I have driven all over Europe and America. The key is to plan your route and what roads you want to be on. Watch roundabouts as the right of way is from the left not right . Take your time and relax. The biggest point I would make to you is that because you are driving a right hand car you are sat on the kerb side of the road. You have not got vision of oncoming traffic if you need to overtake, so drop back off what is in front to get a better view or use the advice of your passenger. Kep tuned in if in shopping malls as you can easily take off on wrong side of roads in car parks.
