I don't think left hand drive experience for one who hasn't experienced is a very difficult task untill one remains attentive and keeps himself reminding that he is driving in a left hand drive environment. At the same time a mistake could be fatal. I learnt the basics of driving in left hand drive environment including my first experience on road however afterwards faced no difficulty driving in Pakistan (however, sometimes I used to put fifth gear instead of first). But many people used to of left hand do not take chance in Pakistan. Still I find its nothing wrong with it and one should give it a try, you won't find it difficult, only need to remain cautious untill get some experience.
I had an interesting experience relevant to the side of driving. As I spent quite a few years of my life in Gulf. When I was new in Pakistan at a couple of occasions I crossed a main road by first looking at left side and then the right side. I got to know my mistake after I have crossed the whole road, and in the second occasion I realized what I have done when I was half way through. So perhaps luckily I was very safe at both of the times, however, same may not be true everytime for everyone.
Dear Kamran, I thought you were in Lahore, and I don't remember why did I made such perception!
