March 10, 201115 yr I have always wondered why when an American made the first car, they allowed this backwards way to drive?
March 10, 201115 yr Active Members There are probably plenty of other examples of how to make this worse but I will mention two. The AVI's vehicles drive on the "wrong" side of the road but have the steering wheel on the LH side. And, of course, the ubiquitous USPS vehicles with RH drive on the "correct" side of the US roads. It is bad enough to be on the "other" side of the road when visiting another country or area but at least in most the steering wheel and controls are a constant reminder. Not so with LH drive and a different side of the road. Best regards, RA1
March 10, 201115 yr I have never found it difficult getting used to RH drive when travelling abroad. About 5 minutes behind the wheel is all it takes to reacclimatize myself. What does give e a problem however is if the car has a manual transmission and I have to shift gears with my left hand - that seems to throw my coordination out the window.
