Question

What side of the road to people drive in Ireland?

Answer 1

On the left!

Answer 2

They drive on the Left Side of the road.

Answer 3

We drive on the left hand side

Answer 4

They drive on the left, the same as England because Ireland was under British rule for many years

Answer 5

Both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland drive on the left side of the road, with traffic signs and rules much the same as in Britain.  On motorways (freeways) the far left is the slow lane; the inside (right) lane is passing, mirror opposite to their American counterparts.  If you've never driven on the left side of the road before, or have never driven in any European country, beware driving in larger cities like Dublin--it can be quite tricky.  Even in rural areas you do need to be careful--you'll often find some hotshot zipping down a narrow country road with barely enough room to pass you, or none!  You'll also find frequent traffic circles, among other things... but I otherwise found driving in Ireland and Northern Ireland to be both easy, and enjoyable.  Directional signs aren't too difficult to follow, and by driving you open up at lot more destinations for visiting that you might otherwise get to see.  One other thing... be sure that you know how to drive stick (manual transmission), AND know how to drive it well.  Most cars in Europe are sticks, and in the UK/Ireland the driver's side is on the RIGHT side of the car, not the left; which means the stick is in your left hand.  Fortunately, all the pedals are in the right order... but it's a bit disconcerting at first to be driving a stick on the right side of the car, on the left side of the road.  A few hours of practice and you'll be comfortable with it, though... and as I said before, it's fun!  :)

Answer 10

The answer, everywhere, is... the *right* side.  Otherwise you will be on the *wrong* side, and accidents might happen as a result.

Answer 11

opposite the american way

Answer 12

Left side of the road on the right side of the car/bus/truck.

Answer 13

Are they drunk or sober??

Answer 14

the exact opposite of American way

Answer 15

The steering wheels in Irish cars are on the right side.

Irish people usually drive in the middle of the road 'cause there is very little traffic. But for passing they pull over to the left.

Irish driver's are very courtous on the road. It is rare to hear horns being blown, and if so it will probably be one of the massive influx of 'outsiders' including I regret to say visitors
