Cons of LHD-
Visibility up the road when turning left at a junction- (solution, simply pull up to the junction in a more perpendicular fashion rather than at 45 degrees)
Seeing past the car in front to overtake- (solution, plan the overtake from farther back or don't get too close to the vehicle in front in the first place)

Pro's of LHD-
Better field of view driving forwards- the RH A pillar doesn't intrude in to your field of vision and you can see all traffic coming the other way.
Better feel for where the side of the road is, especially on a country road with a wide arch Gp4 rear
Pro's
less of a blind spot on the offiside if you can swivel your head enough to look through the back window.

Con's
Having to get out to pay tolls on the Mersey Tunnels or Midland Expressway..

Learning
To approach left turns to give you enough of a view.
That the rear view mirror isn't up and left anymore (which explains why you keep looking at that part of the car....) and the gearlever is to the right, not in the doorbin.
To get in the right side and not having to fake "looking for something" when you open the other door.

Converting (Hawk Specific)
Footwell is narrower on the left side of a RHD car so get used to driving in narrow footwear.
Rear bulkhead and upper seat belt mounts need moving across the car ideally.
