Breaking Down the Nervous Detectives - Whose side are you on, anyway?

One of the things that can sometimes really throw me when I'm watching film or television from the UK is realizing that I've presumed that the wrong character is driving the car.

It's something that only happens occasionally (which makes sense as there has to be a prolonged scene of two adults sitting in the front of a car.)

I think it is really interesting the way (at least my) brain works in these situations. I've driven a fair amount in England, and have had few problems - I find it's much harder to be a front seat passenger. But the thing is -- as I think about it now, I realize that my brain has taken all my memories of driving there and reworked them so that I am now remembering driving on the right side of the road while sitting on the left side of the car.

Weird.
