That would be freaky...imagine driving on the right side all these years then changing to the left hand side.

Just drive in reverse everywhere - then it would still feel like the righthand side

The Swedes did the same thing about 40 years ago, but going from left to right.

I just found this page which covers the events quite well.

It would be wise to stay off the roads as much as possible over the next few weeks in Samoa.

Last night there was a story on TV about it. Bus drivers have to cut a door on the left side. Many bus drivers said it would be expensive and sometimes impossible to do so.
