questions to right hand car drivers.....

[Kongee]

hi,

I'm thinking of buying an right hand drive car and was wondering what do you guys think? how does it feel? is it wierd? do you get pulled over a lot by cops?
is it hard to get use too? how is the drive?


Please post your comments and experience with right hand drive cars.


thanks!

it took me a bit of time to get myself adapted to left-side steering in canada when i came from my homecountry, when ur used to steer with right hand and shift with left hand...

i assume u'll be getting a manual transmission when ur getting a right hand side car, u'll be steering with right hand and shifting with left hand, but if ur a right handed person, u'll get used to it in no time... whereas for right handed person to steer with their left hand when they're used to do that with their right hand, i found it a little bit weird

for me, its so much better to drive a right hand steering car than a left 1, 1st of all i learn from the right hand side steering, and u can steer better using ur right hand if ur a right handed person, while shifting doesnt really matter...

now u remind me of those right handed steering cars!!! love them... 1 thing i hate abt NA cars is tat the steering wheels are all on the left!!!

I always wonder how RHD cars make left hand turns at corners. Do they just look through people's windows/windshield?

try 2 think of how they overtake cars in front of them on a 2 lane, 2 way traffic road... they cant even see the cars coming from the other direction at all if the cars are all going on the right side of the road and the driver's seat is on right

scary eh:lol:

Only way you're gonna get pulled over is if you're driving like a douche bag. In terms of compliance Federally and Provincially they're all currently legit.

It is ******** since the roads are designed for left hand drive vehicles... anyone who purchased a RHD vehicle is just buying it for cool/uniqueness. It is so unpractical... do you expect to make left turns when its yellow, red, or 5 seconds after red? Anyways, a band-aid solution to that would be installing a camera.

i think most ppl that get RHD vehicle is b/c they want a car that is not available here or its cheaper and has lower kms.
