Malta drives on the left, with the steering wheel on the right — a legacy shared with the UK, Ireland and Cyprus. The first days rewire your instincts: roundabouts flow clockwise, and your spatial sense of the car's width needs recalibrating.
Our advice for newcomers: take two or three orientation lessons even if you've driven for years elsewhere. An instructor's car with dual controls is the safest possible place to make the mental switch — far better than a hire car on day one.
