What kind of driver's license is required for right-hand drive vehicles?
1 Answers
Right-hand drive vehicles require a driver's license above C1. Right-hand drive means the steering wheel is on the right side. Due to the left-hand traffic rule implemented in countries or regions such as the UK, Japan, and Hong Kong (mainly Commonwealth countries), their vehicles have right-hand steering wheels for easier passing. Right-hand drive vehicles cannot be driven in mainland China, and driving a right-hand drive vehicle in China is illegal. Driving a right-hand drive vehicle on the mainland poses significant risks, as the driving method for domestic motor vehicles is right-hand traffic, while right-hand drive vehicles are designed for left-hand traffic. When drivers get accustomed to the right-hand drive mode, it greatly increases the probability of traffic accidents. The driving systems of right-hand drive and left-hand drive vehicles are not very different. From left to right, they are the clutch, brake, and accelerator. The lever position is still in the middle, and the gear sequence is the same. The biggest difference, apart from operating with the left hand, is that the driver's seat moves from the left to the right.
