What side of the road do you drive on in Downtown Johannesburg?
If you're renting a car in Downtown Johannesburg or planning a road trip in greater South Africa, you'll be driving on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel 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 drive with extra caution.
