@ArishMell I drove a right hand drive Volvo 245 for 12 years in Norway and for the last five years I have driven several thousand kilometres per year in the UK in a left hand drive car. Once you are used to your position in the car it makes very little difference to the driver.
On the other hand, front seat passengers in left hand drive vehicles in the UK can get quite worried especially on narrow roads in places like Devon and Cornwall. Similarly, my wife found being a passenger in the Volvo in Norway in the winter when the roads are narrowed by snow piled up on th edges quite stressful. Offset frontal collisions are quite common in the winter here, best to not be driving the vehicle with the steering wheel on the appropriate side then!
