We drive on the left over here in NZ. We get a lot of tourists coming here and pick up hire cars and campervans but just can not adjust to driving on our side of the road. The result is horrible head-on accidents. One this weekend took out a 110 over on the West Coast here in the South Island....

There are accidents involving European (as in this case), American drivers etc, but the worse drivers by far are Asian drivers. Most really do not have a clue how to drive on either side of the road. We don't have motorways here or dual carriage ways. The main roads are 99% single lane (each way) with occasional areas on our main SH1 where it opens into 2 lane passing areas - no barriers though. Accidents are usually head-on and very messy.
The Landie driver in this accident had obviously done a good job of securing his boat on the trailer.
