I heard a tidbit during a movie I was watching last night that I probably should have already known , but not having really travelled anywhere I just never thought about it -- that when driving a car in a foreign country, just remember that the steering wheel/driver should always be in the "middle" of the road (as opposed to the curb side). Supposedly as long as you are driving a local vehicle that will always put you on the correct side of the road. Now on a motorcycle I guess all bets are off!
