Brilliant piece. Personal aside: First time I drove a car in England, there was an added element beyond the opposite side of the road. I always have driven a stick shift and had a manual rental there. Every time I'd go to change gears, I found my right hand reaching out--and almost opening the driver-side door. The more dangerous thing about being in London--we go often because my daughter and her family live there--is going for a run and remembering to LOOK RIGHT first before crossing the road.
