  Left hand drive you mean, YES. Drove for 3 months when i was at USA last year.
  
  Its just the total opposite of our roads. I.e. From PIE Jurong towards Changi, left lane is towards jurong, right lane is towards changi. the lane closer to the center divider (passenger side)is still e fastest lane.
  
  Nothing in particular actually. In a junction, their right turn is the narrow turn. and their left turn is the wide turn.
  
  Keep right, unless overtaking.
  
  You will just take 2 days to get used to it tts all. Somehow for some reasons, i feel that left hand drive is more "human orientated" and more driver frenly. Cant explain the real reason y thou.
  
  But, i think it will be disastrous if there are left hand drive cars on local roads- which are meant for right hand drivers.

  driving LHD in Singapore is very headache especially when you want to overtake a vehicle.
  
  Your 'entire' car has to move to right (assuming a big slow truck infront of u) so that you can can see whether there is vehicle coming towards you before overtaking the truck.
