Re: Right Hand Drive

Overtaking on the right, at least, in the Bay area is very common so I don't think driving a RHD car would be an issue. --------------------- Sujit Roy (408) 839-8359 sujitroy@...

Hi Fred, I drove it around the bay area. When signaling a left turn with right hand, some dude thought I was flipping him off. I paid someone to paint it. They lost enough parts that it hasn't run since. Yes, the body is Ausi. pedals would show up in picture. You can see the orange cord over door. Lou .

OK, I'll bite. A Holden is an Australian Chevy. Where did you drive this rig? It would be normal in the UK, Aus, NZ. or Japan. But if it was here in the US. most wouldn't notice anyway. Lots of lights under the dash?

I used to drive my 37 Chevy with Holden body with 70 lb Pyrenees-Samoyed sitting to my left. Talk about getting strange looks. And I bet they weren't concerned that there were only 290 Holden tourers produced. Lou

If you have a RHD car, you really should get a plastic toy steering wheel for the left side.
Train your dog to put his paws up on the toy wheel whenever the car is stopped. Train your dog to hand the toll to the tolltaker at the bridge.

Either way, you need to change them, or you are going to be dazzling oncoming traffic, and that would be a really lame thing to do.

Many years ago, some nice folks brought over a new Fiat 500 and drove it around the US. It was RHD and they were pulled over a few times because the person in the left seat was sound asleep.

I don't know if they look at right and left dipping headlights. Probably depends on how picky they get. There used to be center dip headlights for folks who crossed the channel a lot. Don't know if anyone still offers them. They do look at windshields, though. When my Reliant came over the tempered glass had to be replaced with laminated safety glass.
