What side of the road do you drive on in Samurai District?
In Samurai District, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side. This in itself can be daunting, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. To stay safe behind the wheel, take things slower and leave yourself some extra time to reach your destination.
