(10) allow – be – change – crash – die – do – drive - have – help – must A 2 B 6 C 4 D 3 E 1 doesn’t fit 5 It's something no country has done for around 40 years. On 7th September, drivers in Samoa changed sides - from the right side of the road to the left! This change may sound unusual, but it helps the small country in the South Pacific save money! It will allow cheaper vehicles to be imported from Australia and Japan - where cars drive on the left too, and therefore have the steering wheel on the right. However, many people think the idea is crazy and totally confusing for drivers. "Cars are going to crash, people are going to die - not to talk about the huge cost to our country," says lawyer Tole'afoa Solomona Toa'iloa. Preparations for the move may cost the government $300 million, and bus owners must buy new buses. After all, now their doors are on the wrong side! www.spoton.de, 09.09.2009, slightly adapted
