This information is wrong. We drive left side in the Philippines.

As John D Brown stated on 1 April 2010 (see comment above), Samoa switched from driving on the right to driving on the left in September 2010. Details of the changeover are available on numerous websites. The information shown on the Nationmaster list (above) has therefore been inaccurate for more than two years.

I came to this site to find one country in particular (and no, it wasn't Somalia, which is also missing). I was looking for South Korea (and for that matter, North Korea). Any clues?

CORRECTION REQUIRED

Please note that Samoa changed to left-hand traffic 9from driving on right) in September 2009.

In response to the inquisitor on Singaporean and Malaysian driving orientations, the information on this website is accurate. The confusion here is with reference to which side the car is driven on not on the position of the driver's seat.

Are there any locations where a left-hand drive road and right-hand drive road meet a border crossing? It looks as though this would rarely be a problem because a) many of the left-hand drive countries are islands not bordering other nations, or b) many continental left-hand drive nations border each other, or c) where left-hand and right-hand drive nations DO border they border in remote rural regions with very few if any connecting roads. Just wondering if anyone had any insight on this.
