Which side is the driver's seat in Taiwan?
1 Answers
In Taiwan, the driver's seat is on the left side of the car, and driving is on the right side of the road. In Asia, apart from Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, and Indonesia, most regions and countries follow the same regulations as mainland China, with the driver's seat on the left and driving on the right. Additional information: 1. Steering wheel on the right: The side of the steering wheel is determined by the driving rules of different countries and regions. Right-hand drive is common in Commonwealth countries, where traffic rules dictate driving on the left side of the road, with left turns having priority. This setup also ensures better visibility for the driver when passing other vehicles. 2. Steering wheel on the left: Conversely, left-hand drive is the driving habit and rule in countries and regions like the Americas, where driving is on the right side of the road (right up, left down). Therefore, the driver sits on the left to have a clear view of oncoming traffic. In China, the traditional preference for using the right hand (more advantageous for gear shifting) leads to the use of left-hand drive vehicles.
