What does right-hand drive car mean?

New car tire rust is normal. Here is relevant knowledge about tire rust: Causes of tire rust: The reason for rust on the sidewalls of tires is that brake pads contain iron, which wears down and produces powder during braking. When exposed to water, rusty water flows to the tire side, causing rust over time. The yellow rust on the outer side of tires may result from the oxidation of new car tire wax in high-temperature environments; vehicles frequently driven in dusty areas may show these yellowing phenomena, which are normal and not indicative of tire quality issues. Methods to deal with tire rust: To remove rust, use a tire brush and cleaner to thoroughly clean the sidewalls of the wheel tires from all directions, wiping away yellow stains. Then dry with a lint-free soft cloth and finally apply tire vulcanizing agent. When parking, the vehicle should be parked in a cool, flat area away from various chemicals to prevent tire yellowing.
Right-hand drive (RHD) vehicles refer to cars with the steering wheel positioned on the right side, primarily used in countries like the UK, Japan, and Australia where traffic rules mandate driving on the left. My first experience driving such a car was during a trip to Japan when I rented one. Sitting inside felt extremely awkward at first—the steering wheel was on the right, gear shifting required left-hand operation, and I instinctively veered to the right when turning initially, nearly hitting the roadside guardrail. After driving it a few more times, I gradually adapted and realized this design offers better visibility for pedestrians crossing from the left, especially in dense urban areas. However, overtaking proved challenging due to the right-biased driving position, making it harder to judge oncoming traffic. I had to frequently check the rearview mirror to ensure safety. Overall, it takes a few days to get used to driving an RHD vehicle, and beginners are prone to accidents without proper adaptation. I recommend familiarizing yourself with local traffic rules and road signs before driving one abroad, and practicing parking angles to avoid scratches.
