dude we have safety glass over the pond!!! Windscreen (shield) is required to be fully laminated (I suspect that classic cars of a certain vintage might be exempt as they may have been produced without) with all other windows needing to be 'safety glass' (ie when it breaks it doesn't 'shatter' and produce shards of glass).

I hear what you say about rhd over there - it's a definate mindset needed to go for that. For the last 15 years or so I was driving US cars over here (several Camaros and a Lightning pick-up) but people really didn't 'get' the wrong side of the car steering etc.
