Samoa Begins Driving on Left

Follow me on:

Yesterday at 6 a.m., drivers in Samoa began driving on the left-hand side of the road. The switch from the right-hand side was designed to be in line with other countries in Oceania. The country observed a two-day holiday (and three-day ban on alcohol sales) to reduce traffic and problems. The BBC has the story along with a short video.
