Hi I totally agree with you that driving in Asia isn’t ideal especially jakarta Indonesia for me it feels funny driving right hand drive but i get used to it I’ve only driven right hand drive in Bermuda grand cayman and Jamaica but the real test comes when i go to England because when i go to Uk i plan to drive in London Manchester leeds and poole
You`ll see that it won`t be a problem driving in UK. Will you look for a automatic transmission or will you try a manual transmission?
Btw traffic in Jakarta Indonesia is a glorious mess. Not real traffic

I like driving Manual so i will drive a manual transmission when in the uk plus I found a manual a whole lot cheaper than an automatic btw, the traffic in manila Philippines is worse than jakarta indonesia’s

In Europe manual transmission is standard and therefore the rental rate lower. So good choice when you are used to drive automatic. It makes more fun driving manual.
Traffic in Manila worse than Jakarta is a comparison on a very very low level

Ok, then you are a pro. Welcome in UK!
And left hand drive will also be quite easy in UK. After 10 miles you'll be a pro in this discipline as well

I rented a year ago in Malta (Europe) at Goldcar. There is also left-hand drive. the first time I noticed it was in the parking lot
So keep cool, don't think about it

Oh yeah, on the island of Malta they still drive on the left hand side. But you know that driving on this small island is very limited. The road network has a length of around 30 mile in total only
But they offer lots of rental cars anyway
