Tony,
Not a good idea. Your not talking about learning to drive on the other
side, as the case of a UK resident coming here or vise versa, but about driving
while sitting on the 'wrong' side of the car.
This can be a problem for an experianced driver, it would be a significant
handicap for a new driver to have to cope with, not being able to see around
traffic. The B is pretty narrow and there is usually lane room to move over
for a look see here, but I don't think you can expect a newbie to be able to
handle this along with all the other hazards of driving whilst learning.
