Samoa is about to become what’s believed to be the first nation since the 1970s to order its drivers to switch from one side of the road to the other. … In a TV address about the road change last week, the prime minister warned that ‘the only thing to fear is fear itself.’ He listed a series of other steps, including declaring Sept. 7 and 8 national holidays. The government has also set up a ‘training area’ near a sports stadium where drivers can practice the fine art of driving on the left side of the road.
