Are Japanese Cars Left-Hand Drive or Right-Hand Drive?

[JudahFitz]

Japanese cars are right-hand drive. Here is more information about right-hand drive vehicles: 1. Related Introduction: A right-hand drive vehicle refers to a car where the driver's seat is positioned on the right side of the cabin. In right-hand drive cars, the driver sits on the right, and the vehicle drives on the left side of the road. Conversely, in left-hand drive cars, the driver sits on the left, and the vehicle drives on the right side of the road. In China, the steering wheel is on the left side, commonly referred to as left-hand drive. 2. Differences Between Left-Hand Drive and Right-Hand Drive Vehicles: (1) Driving Habits: In Chinese cars, the gearshift is on the right side, whereas in right-hand drive vehicles, it is on the left. Even with automatic transmissions, this can feel unfamiliar. (2) Road Design: In China, road planning gives right turns higher priority than left turns. Since the driver sits on the left, the right-side visibility is relatively narrower. To avoid accidents, right turns are given higher priority. In contrast, right-hand drive vehicles prioritize left turns, as the driver's visibility is better on that side.
