Travel

Particularly at intersections when I was turning.

I just had to stay super alert and think through every move, not letting my reflexes ever take over.

People in LA are pretty friendly drivers, believe it or not. They are generally patient with people who hesitate or seem unsure. Even on the freeways, they tend to let people in to merge and don't tail gate or cut you off.

OTOH, the traffic is insane everywhere.

I'm wondering if there is a GPS program that addresses any of this. Something like, "turn left in .5 miles and remember to turn left into the right hand lane!"

Anyway, I did rapidly adapt in Oz and felt quite comfortable after just a few days.

In England, I found being a pedestrian the real hazard, despite those big "LOOK RIGHT" signs painted into the crosswalks.
