Clues to look for
Cars drive on the left. Round, curly Sinhala script, tropical greenery, tea plantations and tuk-tuks.
Driving side
Cars in Sri Lanka drive on the left. So do India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and Maldives, which are also in South Asia. Fewer than a quarter of countries drive on the left, so spotting it narrows things down a lot.
