What side of the road do you drive on in Tora?
If you're renting a car in Tora or road-tripping around New Zealand, prepare to drive on the left. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra caution.
