Is the steering wheel on the left or right in the United States?
1 Answers
In the United States, the steering wheel is on the left. Below is an introduction about driving positions: Development of driving positions: When China first had automobiles, it followed the British model, adopting right-hand drive vehicles that drove on the left side of the road. However, towards the end of the Anti-Japanese War, as American military aid vehicles gradually increased, the conflict between American left-hand drive vehicles and China's left-side driving roads became increasingly prominent. Right-hand drive means the driver's seat is positioned on the right side of the vehicle cabin. In right-hand drive vehicles, the driver sits on the right, and the vehicle drives on the left side of the road. Conversely, in left-hand drive vehicles, the driver sits on the left, and the vehicle drives on the right side of the road. Distribution of the two driving positions: If calculated by road mileage, 28% of the world's passable roads drive on the left side. Currently, countries using right-hand drive vehicles are mainly the United Kingdom, Commonwealth countries, and former British colonies.
