I think its stupid IMO. If your sitting in the passenger seat when someone drives, you can rarely see what they can, in many situations because of major blindspots (like turning left on a road with a designated turning lane on both sides, and another vehicle blocks your view of oncoming traffic).

If you really think about it there is absolutely nothing wrong with RHD cars. The only difference is that the wheel is on the right. The pedals and gears are the same, just the pedals are on the right of the car with the wheel, and the turn signal is on the right of the wheel not left. But if you are in RHD, and its a car from another country, im sure it will read in KMH not MPH. I have driven several RHD cars. I don't mind it either way. But if you are in one of those, the attention is nuts. Its like being in a Ferrari, its just that people won't think you are rich, just cool. haha.

If you don't like it, thats cool, I happen to like it just because its different. I am a car enthusiast and anytime someone goes fast in a car I smile. So being in something like RHD is just fun for me. Its different.

Sign me up for K.I.T.T. #2 and the Black tooth!!!


BTW to someone else who posted on here, the only place in Europe where they have RHD cars driving on the wrong side of the road is England and Malta. I say take over everyone and make CHD cars. Or someone who had that THD (trunk hand drive) idea.

Driven MANY RHD cars...of course I lived in Japan for 2 years....so kinda obvious. Personally, I liked it. I've never driven a RHD vehicle in the US before, and wouldn't care to.

I like my fast food too much to enjoy a car that I would have to drive backwards through the lane to order and pick up shit.

In the countries that have RHD the direction on the roads is also opposite.
