Help with visit to Andorra?

Question

I am currently in France near Limoux and thought about a day trip to Andorra. After reading some trip reports on Trip Advisor about the narrow and winding roads and the difficulty in finding a park at the attractions I am having second thoughts. Has anyone been there? I am a bit concerned about the road conditions as I am used to driving on the left (Australia). I am able to drive around French roads ok but very narrow roads can be difficult.

Thousands of normal  vehicles drive regularly through Andorra either to or from Spain without mishap. I have driven to Andorra with a people carrier without any problems. Roads are not that narrow and coaches and buses manage them since there is no train or airport facilities, but driving an unfamiliar vehicle on a side of the road you are unaccustomed to round steep bends is stomach churning in such a mountainous area. If you feel insecure with your driving or with a vehicle that you are not totally comfortable with, I would not recommend it, especially if the first snows are on the way which can happen at this time of the year.
