Not necessarily in the UK. You could end up totally lost, and the same applies to three rights.
"Wheel Left" might leave you a few degrees off 90, but a left turn is 90 degrees, and three of them bring you around to 3 O'Clock - a right turn. Of course, it may be that none of you Brits are are sober enough to walk a straight (180 degree) line.

Note that many of our roads, cities and towns predate vehicles. 90 degree turns are not always possible and then we have roundabouts to confuse Americans:
With more than 10,000 vehicles an hour, the Hangar Lane Gyratory can be a bit of fun for nervous drivers. And it's a good place to practice for Hyde Park Corner.

Will always says that in England, they drive on the right, in America they drive on the left, and in France, they drive in the shade...
I know parts of England which are like that; Wolverhampton comes to mind. . . .
Lori, me dear, I think you've misquoted him. We drive on the left.
Foreigners drive on the right. . . . .
