Visiting

An Australian arrives in Los Angeles on holidays and 
rents a car to get around...

Momentarily forgetting which side of the road to drive 
on he smashes into another car head on, receiving some 
injuries, thankfully just mild ones...

When the police arrive, the australian gives his statement.
When he's finished the policeman says "You know, you really 
shouldn't be so careless.  I mean did you come here to die?"  

To which the Australian replied "No. Yesterday."
