Time to drive…or not


I think I may be ready to get behind the wheel of a car in India, based on a few things.

  1. I pretty much go to the left side of the car, not the right side, every time I get in the passenger seat.
  2. I nodded off for a bit today and when I woke up the driver had the car on the right side of the road and I freaked out. The correct side in America, but the incorrect side in India. The driver was passing someone on a two-lane road.
  3. I consistently look right-left-right instead of left-right-left when crossing the street.
But then again, I may not be ready. I guess I won’t know until I try, right?
