Freak Rainstorms

The biggest obstacle of driving in New Zealand was not driving on the left side of the road or shifting with my left hand, but using the turn signal, which was located on the right side of the steering wheel. Throughout the trip, I was prone to driving during freak rainstorms where I had to turn the windshield wipers on when I had to make a turn.

I was looking forward to driving in the US so that I wouldn't keep embarrassing myself by turning on the windshield wipers when I meant to turn on the turn signal. Now, of course, I expect the turn signal to be on the right side of the steering wheel and the windshield wipers to be on the left. Thus I am still prone to driving during freak rainstorms.

A few hours ago, I attempted to turn on the turn signal and began washing the windshield instead. We had just put the top down on the rental car, so I also managed to douse Hart with wiper fluid. Oops.
