Learning to drive on the right (wrong) side of the road

I think this is going to be a continuing story throughout the trials and tribulations of my lessons.
I love driving. Driving in New Zealand was never a problem for me (had the occasional cracked light/mirror/hubcaps but no majors). I love the left hand side of the road, I agree with all the road rules (even the one that they're changing - much to my disgust) and I happily get infuriated with people who don't know how to indicate properly at roundabouts (it's not that hard, seriously people!)
Plus a 6-7 hour drive across windy roads where you have to keep reducing to 50km/h everytime you drive through a town I enjoy - especially with a fully functional radio/CD/mp3 player of some sort. I don't know if I'm that great of a driver... Point being, you would think switching to the other side of the road would be a case of 'ok, so this is how it's done, sweet! and off we go'.

For a lot of people I think that is the case, I know Ingo didn't have any lessons to transfer from the right to the left side of the road. But for me, the confidence on the wrong side of the road just isn't a happening thing :/ I feel all nervous and stupid, and if I can get out of it I will :s
In fact I feel the same way I felt when I started having driving lessons with my dad and mum... Plus I have that similar feeling of 'the person in the passenger seat reeeeeeally doesn't feel to great about me driving right now' which does nothing to increase the confidence levels :s

At least I get told "that was good!" at the end of each little outing :) That helps!

Well onwards and forwards! Haven't crashed - yet - and practise makes perfect (and all those other sayings)

On a more information is helpful to others note: You can drive in Germany on your NZ drivers licence for up to 6 months. After 6 months you can either extend it for another 6 months (but you have to prove that you're only going to be in Germany for another 6 months) or you can do the Germany theory test and get a brand spanking new German "Führerschein" (and you'll be giving up your NZ one if you do this) Otherwise there's the option of an internation licence - not sure what's involved there!
Happy driving!
