What side of the road do you drive on in Maimai?
If you're renting a vehicle in Maimai or planning a road trip in greater New Zealand, you'll be driving on the left. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so drive with extra care.
