What side of the road do you drive on in Redwood Pass?
If you're renting a vehicle in Redwood Pass or planning a road trip around New Zealand, remember that you'll be driving on the left side of the road. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on a different side to what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow to begin with.
