No it's not. Left-hand turns are tricky.... even moreso if you're trying to keep the "inside line" in case the car drifts right. Also shifting if it's manual b/c you are shifting towards you instead of shifting away from you. Passing on a 2 lane road is dangerous as well - "peeking" around the car in front of you is challenging. I almost killed myseld when I was stationed in Okinawa and England. But after you get used to it it's not so bad.

I took a trip to Japan last year, and it's not too difficult to master.
After a few nights up in the mountains with the drift king I was considered a rookie with swag, and I'm a horrible driver.

My advice would be to go to Japan for training.

be prepared to swerve all over the road for about 2 weeks, then if you dont get in any wrecks during those first two weeks... you'll be fine and grasp the hang of it... and IMO the worst problem i have is trying to make right turns off exit ramps

Right turns were a blast (easy) for me b/c I could look outta the window and see the curbs.

It took me about a day to have it down pat and where it came naturally, I found it more of a pain in the ass to go drive my daily and get in the passenger seat then go, wtf?
