Which car brands have the steering wheel on the right?
1 Answers
The position of a car's steering wheel is determined by the traffic rules of the country and is unrelated to the type of vehicle. If a country or region drives on the left side of the road, the cars sold there will have the steering wheel on the right; conversely, if driving is on the right side, the steering wheel will be on the left. This variation is due to differences in traffic regulations across countries. Below is additional information about car steering wheels: 1. Traffic systems: There are two main traffic systems worldwide—driving on the right and driving on the left. Approximately 90% of countries practice right-hand traffic, with the remainder using left-hand traffic. 2. Correction: Initially, when Karl Benz invented the car, the steering wheel was centered. However, based on ergonomic principles, over 90% of people are right-handed. To ensure accurate and safe operation of the gearshift and brakes, designers naturally placed the driver's seat on the right.
