That would really come in handy if you are travelling in countries that drive on the right hand side of the road.  It's hard enough they drive from the passenger seat, parking requires you to think everything backwards...

Yep if you are lucky enough to own something recent have to parallel park is a thing of the past :-)

Yep, and it's always easier to get an auto if you are driving in the states. Although the way Auckland traffic is stuffed up wouldn't want a manual trying to attempt getting into the CBD.
