RHD / LHD - wich is wich?

not yet know the right means of RHD / LHD.
for instance: Left Han Drive means the position of the car's side that has the steering wheel or the side of the road the car uses?

steering wheel not side of the road.





If your not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room!

It's where the driver is in the car

LHD - left-hand drive (wheel on the left - the car is driven on the right side of the road)

RHD - right-hand drive (wheel on the right - the car is driven on the left side of the road)

Does that help?

Right hand drive, the driver sits on the right hand side of the car

Left hand drive, the driver sits on the left hand side of the car.

Or left hand drive is when you give your mum a lift and though you do the steering she does tells you what to do

"Mind that bus!"
"watch out for that tree"

any my mum doesn't even drive!!!

It depends which side of the driver the handbrake and gear lever are, or which side the door is if there is only one seat

left hand is where your tumb is on the right.

If your standing in front of your car, the left is the right-side which is at the right right-side if you are sitting on the right side seat.

ok?

LHD is for normal people

RHD is for the English

And the Welsh, Scots and Irish (north and south). Oh, and the Japanese, Australians and probably a few others as well.

If we drive RHD cars over here does that mean we should only use the right hand?
If so why is it such a crime to use a phone with the left hand?
