You mean having a postal worker test and give '2 thumbs up' isn't something you insist on?
Or do you think having the passenger operate the indicators a tad inconvenient.

I woudn't fancy the risk of that belt stretching and/or slipping at a crucial moment !!
A missed opportunity there,
with a different pulley it could become a "quick rack conversion"

I like the instant kneecapper in the passenger/other footwell
Bloody hell Thats insane.
Words fail me!!!!
without being toooo serious, i seem to recall they use right hand drive vehicles in the states to deliver mail, and in some places they have to use
there own vehicle, or pay for it. so perhaps its just aimed as a postal delivery vehicle.
but totaly bizare anyway 
suppose they have no mot or the like.

When I lived in Ft. Lauderdale, all the posties drove a RH Drive thing that looked exactly like a WW2 Jeep. Explains that thing then.

Would it pass SVA then????.

There is another one! 
Both of these vehicles are available in RHD - get a new rack & dash and do a
proper job instead of those bodges. 
you are right! rural postal delivery people drive their own vehicles. most just drive unconverted cars/trucks, but sit on the right side. they
steer with one hand and let their left foot do the go/stop function!
it is my understanding that there are no regulations on this type conversion, sadly. even the vehicles converted for the handicapped have no
oversight. imagine, a full sized van converted to total control by joystick, and no legal oversight! total go/stop/left/right using two fingers of
one hand. scary.
was a case here, recently, of a handicap conversion van whose controls failed. van continued, out of control, off the road, over a field, and into
the woods. driver survived, unharmed, but because he couldn't get out of the van unaided, he died before he was found a week later.
we do some scary things over here.

why do they have to be right hand drive?
i really can't understand it.

It is so that they get in and out on the pavement ( sidewalk) side of the vehicle
Must be a safety thing then.
