Which side is the steering wheel on Japanese cars?
1 Answers
Japanese cars have the steering wheel on the right side and drive on the left. The side of the road a country drives on and the position of the steering wheel are determined by long-established traffic rules, which later evolved into more detailed and stringent road traffic regulations. Many countries have legally defined the direction of vehicle travel. Since Japan drives on the left, vehicles in Japan are right-hand drive. The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a frame, foam, and mounting clips or screw holes corresponding to the driver's airbag (DAB).
