Left Hand vs Right Hand Drive Cars

Anybody been around the world?

Seems like LHD is the way to go and is preferred over RHD?

I really want another place in Australia, or maybe London, but I want a LHD car. Arabs seem to bring LHD cars to London

Suppose it depends on what you are used to driving. But if i moved to the states i would want a lhd because its better suited to your roads.

Driven in a few places around the world. It doesn't really make a difference.

You can get LHD cars here in Australia with a few restrictions (eg: club rego, 30+ YO or ultra rare).

what the **** is this ****

it does make a HUGE difference in safety especially on country roads.

if anyone tells you different don't trust them.

How many countries use RHD? I can only think of the UK, Australia, and Japan. What are the others?

I've driven RHD in both Ireland and South Africa

I drive RHD cars in Hong kong, when i drive my car over to China, its a bitch getting the ticket from the parking entrance since its suited for LHD cars.....

Being right handed. I couldn't imagine trying to shift quickly or very accurately in a RHD vehicle...

Implement this world wide.. Then you have a choice.

Probably what he should have said is how many large countries drive RHD. About 25% of the World population drives on the Left Hand Side.

Actually that's the kind of list I was hoping for. I haven't traveled to most of those places so I was wondering.

I'm right-handed but I use my left hand more. Actually they are used equally. I thought about the idea of driving in the right. The cars in UK are so much better too.

Although crossing the street is a problem. I'm so use to traffic flowing a certain way. I got twisted around when I tried crossing the streets of London.

Calm down. You said that you would want "another place in Australia... but I want a LHD car". I live in Australia and simply making you aware that it is possible to drive LHD cars here. Plenty of old school Mustangs/Porsches/E30 M3s getting around.

So that's what the **** this **** is all about.

i've owned a RHD in the states , drive trus and tolls suck! but thats what u got the bitch for..

LHD vs RHD is based on what side of the road you drive on. Ever try passing on the left while sitting on the right side of your car?

I miss this place

I have never driven a RHD vehicle, but I plan on it next year, when we go to England next year.
