LOL. I was thinking about a steering wheel on both sides, like a Mack I bought real cheap. But I can see how that could be a issue with a nut behind either wheel.

Nope. Unless it is duel control.
Just for snots and grins, park your car on the wrong side of street, put a car in front of you, then check your sightlines as you pull out. Want to do that every time?



"......Unless it is duel control."

Well, pulling into the portico at the country club may raise a few eyebrows but otherwise I am sure it suits it's purpose.

Funny thing is I spotted the window controls on the wrong (for the US) door. I never even saw the steering wheel until after I was trying to figure out why the buttons. ๐Ÿ™‚

Guys driving post office local delivery trucks do it 6 days a week


Yes they do. But also they pull in/out of places where not likely to have somebody block their view. I rural areas they often own their vehicles Asked a few why they don't buy RHD, instead of the awkward way they drive. Doing anything else with pickup is too hard. I bought a retired PO delivery vehicle, did not like it for transportation.

Of course, they need access to the passenger side a couple hundred times a day making the trade off worth it.

Unfortunately, the pics aren't coming thru so other than it being a right-hand drive, not much more can be added.
