Is the passenger seat on the left or right?
1 Answers
The passenger seat generally refers to the position next to the driver. In China, the driver's position is on the left, so the passenger seat is on the right. However, not all countries in the world have the driver's position on the left; some have it on the right, such as Japan, the UK, Australia, Hong Kong (China), Turkey, and South Korea. Therefore, in these countries or regions (like Hong Kong), the passenger seat is on the left. Here is some relevant information: The passenger seat has a navigation role: While driving, the driver cannot consult a map, so this task can be handled by the passenger. Sometimes, navigation devices can be wrong, and that's when the passenger's navigation role becomes crucial. Observing road conditions: The driver cannot look around while driving to find the destination, but the passenger can, providing information about the current route, address numbers, etc. Alleviating physical and mental fatigue during the drive: During long drives, especially on highways lasting several hours, if the passenger falls asleep immediately, it can accelerate the driver's fatigue. Conversely, maintaining conversation with the driver can help slow down the rate of fatigue.
