Thank God! It could have been a Chevy.

LOL. I was thinking about a steering wheel on both sides, like a Mack I bought real cheap. But I can see how that could be a issue with a nut behind either wheel.

Nope. Unless it is duel control.
Just for snots and grins, park your car on the wrong side of street, put a car in front of you, then check your sightlines as you pull out. Want to do that every time?

"......Unless it is duel control."

Definition of "Duel Control": The DW offering "how to" *advice* (LOL) on driving techniques, maneuvers, etc.
.........The duel to see who is really in control..:@

Exactly. Very good comments Frank on that other site

Well, pulling into the portico at the country club may raise a few eyebrows but otherwise I am sure it suits it's purpose.

Funny thing is I spotted the window controls on the wrong (for the US) door. I never even saw the steering wheel until after I was trying to figure out why the buttons. 🙂

Guys driving post office local delivery trucks do it 6 days a week

Yes they do. But also they pull in/out of places where not likely to have somebody block their view. I rural areas they often own their vehicles Asked a few why they don't buy RHD, instead of the awkward way they drive. Doing anything else with pickup is too hard. I bought a retired PO delivery vehicle, did not like it for transportation.

Of course, they need access to the passenger side a couple hundred times a day making the trade off worth it.

Unfortunately, the pics aren't coming thru so other than it being a right-hand drive, not much more can be added.
