white knuckled driving

We finally got ourselves a rental car which helps so I don't feel too isolated out in the suburbs or have to take an extremely expensive taxi out into the city. But I did have to learn how to drive on the opposite side of the road and car, yikes. I never thought that I would grip a steering wheel so hard that it gave me cramps and white knuckles. I have been getting used to it since it helps when there are other cars to follow. The roundabouts are still a pain in the arse and takes too much concentration, I have already encountered more than my fair share of them and am grateful for the drivers around me who dealt with me without giving me the bird. However, the worst part of driving in Cape Town is not the erratic drivers or extremely narrow roads where it looks like you're driving head on but it's the people dodgers and bicyclists! On the freeway, there are people who constantly dodge across traffic or ride their bicycle especially when they do this at night, you can't see them. They are my least favorite about driving here.
