Are Cars in Taiwan Right-Hand Drive or Left-Hand Drive?
2 Answers
Taiwan cars are left-hand drive. Below is a partial introduction about the global road traffic direction: 1. Introduction: The direction of road traffic is an important aspect of traffic rules in countries around the world. It specifies the side of the road on which vehicles should drive to avoid confusion and accidents. Road traffic directions can be divided into two categories: driving on the left side of the road and driving on the right side of the road. 34% of countries drive on the left, while 66% drive on the right. If calculated by road mileage, 28% of the world's drivable roads are left-hand drive, and 72% are right-hand drive. 2. Taiwan's vehicle driving direction: Cars in Taiwan are left-hand drive, and vehicles drive on the right side of the road. Taiwan license plates consist of two English letters at the front followed by four numbers, such as AD-1234.
As a regular driver who has lived in Taiwan for many years, I hold the steering wheel every day, which is uniformly positioned on the left side, perfectly matching our right-hand traffic. I remember when I first got my driver's license, I was a bit worried about whether I would adapt to the steering wheel position. But after driving for a while, I found that it offers excellent visibility, especially on curves or when changing lanes, making it easy to see oncoming traffic and reducing blind spot dangers. Taiwan's road system follows right-hand traffic, and the car market is dominated by left-hand drive vehicles. Whether you buy a new car or rent an old one, the design is basically the same. A friend of mine visiting from Japan tried driving my car and said it was convenient because they have right-hand drive there, which can be confusing. I recommend that new drivers practice more, especially paying attention to road sign positions when driving at night.
