You have got to be kidding - If you can drive around Liverpool you can easily drive around Orlando!
Yes, you're on the wrong side of the road but just follow the flow of the traffic and you get used to it far quicker than you'd think. There are no roundabouts and most roads have intersections where you can easily perform U-Turns if you go wrong.
Most roads are laid out in grid fashion and are based on a compass direction, i.e. North, South, East, West. It makes navigation simple, especially if you check the road name signs over junctions that state the road are about to cross. If you need to check which road your on, get to a traffic junction and look up left or right and read the sign.
The vehicles are bigger, then again, so are the roads. In places, some of their shopping roads (192 / I-Drive) are as wide, if not wider, than our motorways. You're not crammed in to tight streets like you are in Europe and the UK.
Traffic moves more slowly. Nearly all vehicles are automatics so they all creep start from junctions. You don't get Vauxhall Nova's with £500 gear nobs and baseball capped youfs trying to burn you off at traffic lights. It's far more relaxed; even their traffic jams are more chilled than over here.
Please don't worry about a car over there. I was concerned before I first tried but in my opinion it is far easier to drive in the USA than it is here. I'd much rather have to drive a big people carrier around Orlando than take my Mondeo into Nottingham or Derby city centres! Just check your map, turn the radio off and concentrate on the road - you'll be crusing to the sound of Americana with arm out an open window in no time
