7 Tips for Driving on the Left Side of the Road
| July 27, 2016
Stay out of city centers
When I rented my first left side driving car, I was in Cape Town, South Africa. I didn’t default to picking the car up at the airport. First, I wanted to see how far the airport was from the city and how congested the roads might be. Luckily, the airport is a distance from the city. However, I wasn’t above taking a taxi to rental car facility in a less congested area of Cape Town.
Likewise, I only rented the car for segments of the trip that were outside of Cape Town. When I was in the city, it was easier to rely on public transportation, taxis, or my own two feet. The chances of an accident from forgetting which side of the road to drive on only escalate when in more congested areas of town.
