<div id="ygrps-yiv-2082783101">I grew up in Ireland so I can give my perspective here. The border <br/>
most likely goes through the middle of the road. Also the roads there <br/>
are usually only one lane wide, making passing another car difficult. <br/>
So you mihgt find yourself driving in 2 countries simultaneously.<br/>
There are several towns on the border where one side of the street is <br/>
the Irish Republic and the other side is in the UK. In one case (I <br/>
don&#39;t know where.) where the UK police station is across the street <br/>
from the Irish police station. Neither police can cross the street <br/>
while in uniform.<br/>
Also, you won&#39;t find any full exclaves on either side of the border.<br/>
<br/>
Hope this helps.<br/>
