About LeftLane

I started building it after having an accident the first time I drove on the left. I was taking a right turn and looked the wrong way for oncoming traffic. It was the kind of mistake that is easy to understand afterwards, but hard to prevent in the moment when years of right-side-driving muscle memory take over.

Why I built it

Most advice about driving on the left is useful, but reading a tip is different from rehearsing the habit.

LeftLane started as a personal project because I wanted a simple way to rehearse the moments that feel strange before picking up a rental car: right turns, roundabouts, keeping left after turning, crossings, and lane discipline.

What LeftLane is

LeftLane is an early beta browser practice tool for licensed drivers preparing to drive on the left. The goal is narrow: help people rehearse the habit change before pickup day.

It is built around short practice scenarios, not a full driving lesson. The current focus is on the moments where right-side-driving habits are most likely to come back automatically.

What LeftLane is not

• LeftLane is not a full driving simulator.
• It is not a driving school.
• It is not a rules course.
• It does not necessarily cover every local road rule, regulation, sign, or driving situation.
• It is not a substitute for official guidance, local laws, professional lessons, or careful real-world driving.

What happens next

LeftLane is still a work in progress. I plan to add more scenarios based on feedback, and I am also interested in supporting controllers or steering wheels later.

Right now, the most useful thing is honest feedback from people who are nervous about driving on the left, have done it before, teach it, rent cars to tourists, or help travelers prepare for self-drive trips.
