Driving Overseas - Travel Tips and Advice
Horrors, no! I don't love driving in my own country. I only do it to get from point a to b. If someone else wants to drive, I'm more than willing to ride.
We lived in Asia for over 8 years and I never drove, not even once. I was petrified! The scariest thing for me is the mix of pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, autos, and even HUGE trucks all in the same space. Way too scary. I am terrified I'll run over someone on foot or on a bike.
My husband got his Chinese driver's license, however, and did drive in China. He was a professional limo driver in USA, though, in his youth, so he naturally has more confidence as a driver.
