Which Side is the Steering Wheel on in France?
1 Answers
In France, the steering wheel is on the left side. Below is relevant information: Countries and regions with the steering wheel on the right side include: the United Kingdom, Ireland, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, as well as China's Hong Kong and Macau regions. Reasons: Currently, there are two prevailing traffic systems in the world: driving on the right side and driving on the left side. Approximately 90% of countries worldwide practice right-hand traffic, while the remaining follow left-hand traffic. 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 use of the gearshift and brakes, designers naturally placed the driver's seat on the right side.
