The Blind Spot in Foreign Driving Risks The recent car crash that took the lives of several Hongkongers in New Zealand has brought into sharp focus a perennial problem for travelers from Asia: adapting to driving on the opposite side of the road.
Many countries, including Britain, Australia, and Japan, follow the left hand traffic rule, but their roads are not identical to those of Hong Kong.
According to Ringo Lee Yiu pui, honorary life president of the Hong Kong, China Automobile Association, paying attention to blind spots is the biggest hurdle for Hong Kong motorists.
