GEICO seems to be going through a lot of pains to keep me from switching. After a couple of years of significant increases, they dropped my rates significantly a year ago for the same coverage, kept them at the same rate six months ago, and promised me a lifetime-membership (I can never be denied a policy-renewal, even wth accidents or tickets.....which I almost never get anyway), as long as the balance is paid.

I just don't think I could ever get used to RHD.

It even works to my favor, I'm a leftie. Still, no way.

It gets a little bit easier each time I go to the UK, but it still feels odd/unnatural. But hey, at least over there my rental is a manual transmission...

The markings in the streets in London are crazy compared to here. I'm not familiar with the signs, etc. etc.

I'll pass lol.

........So you're constantly shifting with your left arm? That must make driving even more awkward after getting used to American conditions.
