Personal anecdote: As a child I played a lot of Sim City. In those games bridges must be perfectly straight and as a result I developed a mental model that curved bridges simply don't exist. When I first drove over a gently curved bridge in my late 20's I felt a serious disturbance to an irrelevant worldview that I never questioned.
I first got hold of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas early in the summer holidays during my school years, which meant I was able to play nearly-uninterrupted (save for pesky things like sleep and food) for several days straight.
When I finally surfaced, and Mum drove me into town for something or other, I felt visceral panic that she was driving on the "wrong" side of the road.
I wonder if you could simulate driving on the left by 1) flipping the entire screen left-to-right, 2) flipping the controls left-to-right, and 3) getting really good at reading mirrored writing.
On a somewhat related note: the Game Cube and Wii editions of Zelda: Twilight Princess are mirror images of each other. If you're playing on a Game Cube, Link is left-handed, but he's right-handed on a Wii.
If you know how to mirror a display in Windows 11 I can try it in my sim rig and see if it works. I actually thought about doing that the other day for some reason, I think it would work.

Or just buy a truck simulator on steam and experience it without hacks ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ
Shame only the first installment of the series had an expansion pack set in London.
You must be in a left hand drive country?
Based on the use of "Mum", very probably.

See I'm familiar with California and their "flying" interchanges which are often banked pretty substantially - having to walk along one once was an eye opener, they're really banked!
