The Right-Hand Drive Car

Right-hand drive cars shocked me when I initially arrived in Hong Kong. It makes me feel this way at the time because I'm accustomed to seeing things the opposite way around in my nation. I pondered whether switching from right-hand drive to left-hand drive, and vice versa, is difficult. What do you think of it? Image Credit: pbs.twimg.com

We hired a car in France once and had to drive opposite to what we were used to but it wasn't too difficult.

I have never driven in a right hand car or on right hand car roads, and I imagine it would be a bit of a culture shock as well as take a bit of getting used to.

I have done both. When I first tried it in the US, it was bit awkward for few days. But once behind the wheel, one does not feel much of difference, the traffic sense and direction also changes, so you go with the flow of the traffic.

One of the reasons I haven't learned how to drive yet is that I don't want to be at the left nor at the right. When I walk, I stay in the middle. I just want to sit in the middle. But yes, I can imagine how difficult it would be to switch sides, it'd feel so strange.

I don't know ... because I don't drive. But if I can remember it correctly when you have a right-hand wheels it is because there so many right turns in that country.. sorry for the grammar.
