Samoa Switching Sides

Well, Samoa became the first country in decades to switch to driving on the other side of the road. It just doesn't seem like it's worth all the hassle, expense, and potential danger.

This is notable for being a rare right-to-left switch. Another example was Okinawa (Japan) in 1978, when the US returned its jurisdiction to Japan. They switched left-to-right at the end of WW II, and I can't think of any other double-switch examples.
