Re: Right-Hand drive?
A far as I'm concerned, RHD in the US is dangerous. A couple I knew got killed
in a RHD sport car when we were young (many years ago). It's OK in the 'burbs
and would be on trails. Problem comes trying to pass on single-lane roads. With
RHD you cannot see whats coming until you are out in the other lane and then it
is too late. It was for my friends and the people thay killed.

If you recognize the line-of-sight limitations of a right-hand drive vehicle
in the US, then you know that (a) you shouldn't pass or (b) back off enough
from the car you want to pass to see far enough down the road. I'm sorry
your friends got killed but it sounds like they didn't recognize those
limitations, it's not the fault of the RHD.
