What side of the road do you drive on in Kiwitea?
In Kiwitea and across New Zealand, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side. This can be daunting enough, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. To stay safe, take things slow at first and allow yourself ample time to get to your next stop.
