Car insurance for right hand drive
We're thinking of driving our car over when we move to Spain later in the year as I'm terrible with a left hand drive. My inability to find 3rd gear with my right hand is really rather special!
Just wondered if it makes any difference to car insurance having a right hand drive car in Spain?

We plan to bring our RHD Merc ML270 over with us in a couple of months time. I've had a couple of insurance quotes and for us in our early 50s, both 5 years plus no claims the quotes were slightly over 600 euros.
So there may be a disadvantage or two with RHD at car park ticket machines and toll booths.
But I reckon RHD will be more convenient when two cars are trying to squeeze past each other on the campo tracks. Open the door and there's the edge rather than having to guess exactly how close the wheels are to going over.
I have driven LHD here in the UK and didn't find it too much of an issue overtaking just had to adopt a different technique.

I bought a spanish plated RHD 4X4 last year and the insurance isnt really any higher than if it was LHD. I dont have a problem driving a RHD in Spain and will only overtake if its safe and when you consider the risks some people take overtaking driving a LHD,(ive been overtaken on a blind bend) I dont think its any less safe.
