Drove a total of about 180km within a day yesterday. Driving in N. America is pretty stress free; no worries about obnoxious taxi drivers tooting their honks at you, no tailgatings when you are a little slower, no swearings and pointings of middle fingers from nasty drivers. It was raining pretty hard and visibility was kindda poor. However, we still braved the rain to drive to Abbotsford, a small city about 72km west of Vancouver. I enjoyed the drive but full concentration was warranted since it is right-hand drive. Got a bit of time to get used to right-hand drive, but managed to get the gist of it within a couple of hours.
I am glad to be given this opportunity and it really boosted my confidence to drive on highways in N. America.
The only sad thing that happened was that another car behind us skidded and bumped into our car when we stopped at a red light junction. The driver is a lady and she was very apologetic towards us. Well, guess she will have to pay the rental company's damages, if any.
