Being a driver spoilt with automatic gear small car which is easy to maneuver on streets of Malaysia, I find the driving experience in manual gear Peugeot 407 on the other side of the road (left hand driving in Denmark) very um....exhilarating!
On the right side of the road, there's always a cyclist path for all bicycle/small engine motorcycle riders. In cyclist friendly country like Denmark, they have the top priority so whenever a right turn is to be made, make sure to watch out for cyclist/bikers on the right.
Knowing this fact very well & understanding my own driving skill, I set for a 'test drive' at 6.30am on Saturday morning where the traffic is not heavy (cars/cyclists/pedestrians).
Total distance 35km, I have to restart car engine 5times along the way (my clutch & fuel balancing failed, sob sob). There was even a time where I drove 1/4 of the right rear wheel up the cyclists' path. I think if I were to continue my journey any further, I'll post serious threat to all pedestrians & cyclists, lol...
Anyway, driving in Peugeot was a good experience. It feels good to be behind the wheel (power steering, haha) again, kind of miss driving. The car wipers have sensor to detect the density of moisture/rain & will automatically turn on wiper/adjust wiper speed accordingly. Cool huh?
Oh...and remember to turn on the car light even during day time when driving in Denmark. It's a must ;)
I actually have a picture of mini traffic lights for cyclist & a snap shot of the wiper sensor...but I can't upload it, somehow. Maybe next time...
