Americans can use a US drivers license while in Ireland. Drivers in Ireland drive on the left side of the road, which can be initially confusing for Americans and others accustomed to traveling on the right side. Distances and speeds are marked in kilometers and kilometers per hour as in most countries in Europe. Roundabouts, which are rare in the United States, are common in Ireland. Yield right of way when entering a roundabout, and pay close attention to all signs and signals within it. Travel Tips Video

Turning right on red is legal by default in America, but it is illegal in Ireland. Wait for a green light or arrow. Automatic transmission cars are difficult to rent in Ireland, so you must learn to drive stick before you travel if you plan to drive. Finally, avoid using your cell phone while driving, which is illegal in Ireland. Harassment
Ireland is generally free of the political paramilitary violence that has plagued Northern Ireland, but things can occasionally get unpleasant for American tourists.
