Can You Drive a Right-Hand Drive Car in Mainland China?

[JulianMarie]

In mainland China, it is not allowed to drive a right-hand drive car. Below is some information about driving right-hand drive cars: 1. Regulations: Except for vehicles from Hong Kong and Macau that have been approved for entry according to regulations, all others are considered illegal. The country follows the principle of right-hand traffic, with the steering wheel on the left side, which makes it easier for drivers to gauge the distance from oncoming vehicles and reduces the risk of collisions. 2. Steering Wheel: Countries with left-hand drive vehicles are mostly typical mainland countries. Initially, influenced by the UK, China had left-hand traffic; while northern provinces like Shandong and Zhili were influenced by the US and adopted right-hand traffic.
