> What about the foot pedals? If everything else about driving is reversed, it would make sense for the pedals to be on the wrong sides, too--accelerator on the left, brake in the middle, and clutch on the right.

I thought of that and asked Brunnen-G about that the first day. I had an international driver's permit and could have legally driven in New Zealand. As it turned out I didn't have to, but I wasn't afraid of driving on the left. I *was* afraid of having the pedals reordered on me. I figured if the pedals were reversed, I just plain couldn't do it, and if they weren't, I'd make out all right. No, the pedals weren't reversed.
