Have we been blessed or are we heading for big trouble when the Government of Samoa has decided to switch over from driving on the right side to the left side of the road? This change will take place in the beginning of September this year and we can just hope it will be a smooth one.

Today almost all cars have left hand steering and until recently all right hand steering cars were banned. Today it is the other way around which is the reason that most car dealers haven’t sold a car for a year.

Sometimes it is really questionable if such an action is justified when the World and Samoa has economical problems and when knowing that the change over in September will cost many many millions of Tala. We just hope that the Government has a very good reason for this action.
