We were very clever (we thought), and rented the same make of car that we drive at home to help ease the transition. This was a mistake. Instead of things feeling obviously wrong, and thus easy to remember, things were subtly wrong, and generally plagued us the entire trip. Left turns were consistently signaled by turning on the windshield wipers.

We felt bad about that, until we noticed the behavior in other cars, at which point it helped foster a sense of community. We were a band of clean-screened brothers, driving dangerously close to the curb. To avoid embarrassment, always try to drive in the rain.

We came back alive, and so can you! From using rumble strips to recalibrate your car-sense to call-and-response tricks to maintain the proper lane, it’s the one guide about driving on the wrong side of the road that you can’t afford not to read for free!
