Is the driver's seat on the left or right in Australia?
1 Answers
In Australia, the driver's seat is on the right side, and vehicles drive on the left. Here is additional information: Left-hand traffic: This is because Australia is part of the Commonwealth, where island nations led by the UK drive on the left. This tradition originates from medieval European customs of horseback riding and walking, where mounting stones were placed on the left side of the road. Currently, countries with left-hand traffic include: the UK, Japan, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Ireland, Malta, New Guinea, Fiji, Tonga, Nauru, Jamaica, Guyana, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, and over thirty other countries.
