Left Hand Driven Cars

By: Leo Dillon Home | Automotive | Cars


Driving a left hand driven car offers magnificent excitement and amazing driving moments. Left hand driven cars or LHD are the cars where the steering wheel is located on the left side when you are looking the front of the vehicle or on the right side when you are sitting inside it. The difference between a right and left hand driven car is the opposite location of the primary driving components such as the steering wheel and pedals. These cars also have automatic transmission system.

Only few select car manufactures try to design cars for both sides. The majority of the world population drives on the right. The most obvious benefits of choosing a left hand driven is ease and safety when driving in left hand driven, which is especially beneficial for frequent travelers. There are many strict driving laws in the advanced countries. Signs, toll booths and traffic lights are bespoke for one side not for both. Traffic throughout the world is restricted to either the left or right hand side of the road and requires regulations fundamental to traffic flow.

Driving tips for LHD cars:

While you may not be used to it, getting around in left hand drive cars on the right side of the road is every bit as safe as driving on the left. You have to follow the tips below to get enjoyable journey cruising the highways in any destination.

1 If one has never used a left hand drive before, it is advisable to choose the one with automatic transmission.

2 If your hand-eye coordinations are not as accurate as you would like it to be or you are nervous at the time of driving or losing control while you take your eyes away from the road, it is advisable to drive on wider roads or road where traffic is minimal before going into the busy roads.

3 You need more practice to learn the controls and equipment in LHD cars. If you are practicing manual left hand drive, always remember that the pedals like accelerator, brake, clutch are in exactly the same position from left to right. You have to concentrate only on the location of the gear-stick and handbrake in the LHD.

4 check speedometer precisely. Find out the speed limits accurately. Many left hand driven countries measure speed in kilometers and you may be used to measuring speed in miles. Left hand driven cars measure in kilometers only or indicate both kmph or mph.

5 Take a little test drive in your LHD before you venture out onto the roads and when you finally take the plunge remember to keep right.

Left-handed cars are ideal for many reasons. Left-handed cars are part of the wave of the future. Now you can enjoy these wonderful moments or get different feeling of driving experience.
