Which cars have the driver's cabin on the right?
1 Answers
No specific car brand has the driver's cabin on the right. In most countries around the world, the driver's cabin is on the left, with only a few regions like the Commonwealth and Japan having it on the right. Early automobiles had the driver's seat positioned in the center of the vehicle. Shortly afterward, some automakers placed the driver's seat on the side closer to the road's centerline to better observe oncoming traffic. Others positioned it on the roadside to avoid collisions with obstacles like walls, hedges, or ditches. Practical experience showed that the former approach was more conducive to road safety, leading to its adoption as the standard. This resulted in the distinction between left-hand drive (driver's seat on the left front) and right-hand drive (driver's seat on the right front) vehicles.
