By order of the Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailiele Malielegaoi of the Samoan Islands, all persons will have to change which side of the road they are driving on come September 7. In order to align themselves with their neighboring countries of New Zealand and Australia, Samoans will have to switch sides.
There are many detractors of the plan as they say it will cost a lot of money to achieve this goal. Most of the current cars are built to accommodate right hand driving and will have to be switched. Buses will also have to be retrofitted with doors on the other side for safety reasons. It sounds like a big mess!
