Should you get an RHD conversion

I don't have experience with it but I'd never drive a car with the steering wheel on the wrong side here. Basically impossible to do country road overtaking especially behind vision blocking box trucks, and I'd have to use the passenger side mirror to check for clearance before Autobahn overtaking which seems far more dangerous than using the driver side mirror and shoulder view. North Americans play it down and there are in fact quite a few RHD cars in Canada, but all their roads are wide, often multi-lane and with low speed limits and low speed differences.

Is it hard to find foreign classics with RHD in the UK? Maybe a Toyota Celica or an Aussie Ford Falcon.

>Anyone have experience with this, vice versa RHD cars in LHD countries?
Yes.

Coming from the US (LHD on the right), driving LHD on the left (St. Thomas, USVI) was much easier than RHD on the left (Grand Cayman). For me in RHD, I wanted to keep looking to the right for the rear view mirror. I think given enough time (more than a week or so), it would have been fine. Traffic circles were not as difficult to navigate as I thought. Making lefts like I normally make rights was a very significant change.

So you won't even TRY to drive lhd? Some people man fuck.

Canada reporting in.

Hong Kong isn't a country.

It's not hard at all to get used to driving on the other side of the car unless you're autistic.

You will have trouble passing and turning through an intersection though.

Passing isn't that bad, just look up the other side of the vehicle if there is room.

Turning through an intersection, just wait till the light is about to turn red.

If you're that worried though, it probably won't work out for you.

Most people wash the windshield instead of turning on the signal the first couple times though. I've never done it yet, only walked to the wrong side of the vehicle once in 4 years of owning it.

I just quickly swerve from side to side like a race car warming up its tyres if I'm behind a truck

Just do it. You're gonna restore the car anyway, not like a rhd conversion will set you back a a year or whatever. Countless kits exist and documentation everywhere
and it will make your life so much easier
Also resale costs on rhd converts is higher than original lhd

And considering you're from the UK it will probably save you a decent amount on insurance

Through my job, I've worked on and driven a bunch of RHD postal vehicles in a LHD country. You get used to it, but find yourself checking your far side mirror a lot. Like anything else, the more you do it, the easier it becomes.
