Solution

The correct answer is "culture shock". This term refers to the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone when they are suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture, way of life, or set of attitudes. In this case, American tourists are experiencing culture shock because they are not used to cars driving on the left side of the road, as is customary in Great Britain.
