What side of the road do you drive on in Appleby?
If you're renting a car in Appleby or planning a big road trip in New Zealand, remember that you'll be driving on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra caution.
