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 regulations of each country and is unrelated to the type of vehicle. If a country or region drives on the left, the cars sold there will have the steering wheel on the right; if a country or region drives on the right, the cars sold there will have the steering wheel on the left. Here is some relevant information: 1. Two traffic systems: Currently, there are two prevailing traffic systems in the world—one where vehicles drive on the right and another where they drive on the left. Approximately 90% of countries worldwide practice right-hand traffic, while the remaining follow left-hand traffic. 2. Evolution of steering wheel position: Initially, when Karl Benz invented the automobile, the steering wheel was centrally located. 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.
