Why is the steering wheel on the left side of a car?

[VanJocelyn]

China's traffic regulations require driving on the right side of the road. The benefits of right-hand traffic are as follows: Better visibility: Drivers can more clearly see the traffic and road conditions behind them. When overtaking, this provides a better field of vision. Additionally, since the overtaking lane is usually on the outer side, and lane changes for overtaking typically involve the left side crossing the line first, placing the steering wheel on the left allows the driver to quickly assess the overtaking lane situation, reducing the likelihood of accidents. More convenient operation: Drivers can use their left hand to maintain control of the steering wheel while using their right hand to perform complex actions such as gear shifting and operating the dashboard.
