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.
