Which side is the steering wheel on in UK cars?

[Michael]

In UK cars, the steering wheel is on the right side because the traditional custom in the UK is to drive on the left. Traffic regulations stipulate that both vehicles and pedestrians must keep to the left, which is the opposite of right-hand traffic in our country. Under this driving rule, the driver's seat is designed on the right side for convenience and safety when getting in and out of the car, meaning the steering wheel is on the right. More information is as follows: Reason: Due to differences in traffic systems across countries, about 66% of countries in the world implement right-hand traffic, while 34% implement left-hand traffic. China's traffic system follows right-hand traffic, and to ensure sufficient visibility for observing road conditions, the driver's cabin is naturally designed on the left. Example: Early car cabins were in the middle. Mercedes-Benz, one of the world's earliest car companies, initially had the steering wheel in the center of the car. Later, based on ergonomic reasons—people being more accustomed to using their right hand—the driver's cabin was set on the right side, a design that continues to this day.
